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 and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electrocution. Check with a
qualifi ed electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product-if it will not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this product.
To prevent overloading circuit, do not operate any other
electrical device connected to the same circuit while
operating pressure washer.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use additional length of high pressure hose instead of extension cords to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating. DO NOT
USE EXTENSION CORDS. NOTE: The use of additional length of high pressure
hose will lower the pressure washer's psi below 1600.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
built into the plug of the power supply cord. This device 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.
RISK OF INJURY FROM LIFTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Serious injury can result from
attempting to lift too heavy an
object.
• The pressure washer is too heavy
to be lifted by one person. Obtain
assistance from others before lifting.
The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable
of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass,
automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as
fl owers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to
assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of
the spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very
strong surfaces like concrete and steel.
