Equipment Description

WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator's
manual and all operating instructions could result in
death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
• Read this manual carefully and become familiar with your
electric pressure washer. Know its applications, its limitations,
and any hazards involved.
The electric pressure washer operates at 1300 PSI (89.6 BARS)
at a flow rate of 1.1 gallons per minute (4.2 liters per minute).
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the
right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product and this
document at any time without prior notice.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
This product must be properly grounded. This electric pressure
washer is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The device will disconnect both power conductors to the load
circuit in the event of an interruption in either or both supply
circuit power conductors. If a malfunction or breakdown occurs,
the GFCI provides protection. If replacement of the plug or cord
is required, use only identical replacement parts.
The electrical power cord must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. Read the instructions on the plug
for use or see How to Start Your Electric Pressure Washer.
Automatic Shut-Off
The electric pressure washer is equipped with a sensor that will
detect that water flow has stopped when releasing or locking the
spray gun trigger. The sensor will cause the motor to shut off for
as long as the spray gun trigger is released or locked.
If the motor continues to run when the spray gun trigger is
released or locked, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. Call the electric
pressure washer helpline at (800) 743-4115 for assistance.
NOTICE The electric pressure washer is equipped with a main
power ON/OFF switch. The switch should always be moved to the
OFF position (O) when the electric pressure washer is not being
used to prevent possible damage.
Motor Overload
The electric motor in this electric pressure washer is equipped
with an overload protection device (thermostat). This device will
automatically shut off the motor if the motor overheats or draws
excessive current.
If the overload protection device is tripped, disconnect the power
supply by turning the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O)
position. Let unit cool for 30 minutes. Then turn the master ON/
OFF switch to the ON ( | ) position to resume operation.

cords that are approved for outdoor use. These extension cords
are identified by a marking "ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH

unless they are plugged into a ground-fault-protected receptacle.
DO NOT use damaged extension cords. Also observe the
