EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords are not recommended for use on this
pressure washer. If the 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 washer. 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 yank any cord to disconnect. Keep cord
away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting
the product from the extension cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.
On extension cords:
Cable Length Wire Gauge
Up to 50 feet 14 AWG
50 to 100 feet 12 AWG
Use of smaller cords will cause electric motor stalling or
circuit breaker stoppage.
CLEANING DETERGENT PRECAUTIONS
Know the detergent being used. Be prepared to tell a
physician exactly what you are using in the event of an
emergency. Read all detergent labels and follow all
instructions exactly regarding preparation, use, safety,
transportation, and disposal. Keep all detergents out of
the reach of children, pets and livestock.
NEVER spray combustible liquids of any kind.
Do not use highly corrosive detergents or acid-type
cleaners with this washer.
HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause injury.
Potentially hazardous chemicals used with the pressure
washer includes such items as detergents.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific
details on detergents; physical and health hazards, safety
procedures and emergency response techniques.
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a detergent.
That way you will know exactly what the risks are and how to
do the job safely. Then follow procedures and recommended
equipment. (See your John Deere dealer for MSDS Sheets
on products used with this equipment.)
