PREVENTION
This product must be grounded. Make
sure the pressure washer is equipped with
a GFCI built into the power supply cord. If
this is not available, the pressure washer
must be plugged into a receptacle that is
protected by a GFCI. Disconnect when not
in use.
If your unit is equipped with a GFCI, DO
NOT drop the GFCI as damage could
result. If the GFCI is accidentally dropped,
be certain to test the GFCI before using
to ensure it is working properly. (Follow
instructions on GFCI for test procedures.)
Always be certain the unit is receiving
proper voltage. Before plugging the unit
into a compatible power source, be certain
the switch is in the "OFF" position. Discon-
nect when not in use.
Do not modify plug provided with the prod-
uct. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not use any type of adapter.
Check power cord for signs of crushing,
cutting or heat damage. If replacement of
plug or cord is needed, use only identical
replacement parts.
Do not use extension cords with this pres-
sure washer.
Keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not allow electrical cords to lay

nect from the outlet.

Before opening any electrical enclosure,
always shut off the pressure washer, relieve

cause it is not operating. It could restart at
any time! Service in a clean, dry, flat area.
