1. Make certain the motor switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Ensure electrical supply is identical to the specifications listed on the
pressure washer data plate.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This product must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
4. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug - if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not
use any type of adaptor with this product.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION: This
pressure washer may be provided with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug or the power supply cord, test the
GFCI each time it is plugged into an outlet according to instructions on
the GFCI. DO NOT use the pressure washer if the test fails! The GFCI
provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should
replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical
replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
6. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS. If
use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must be plugged into a
GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only
extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do
not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do
not pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and
sharp edges. Always connect or disconnect the extension cord from
the receptacle before connecting or disconnecting the product from
the extension cord.
7. Ensure the area between the pressure washer cord and outlet is kept
dry.
8. Insert the male plug into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT use an
