SAFETY OVERVIEW
DANGER – GROUNDING
• This product must be grounded. If this machine malfunctions, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of
electrocution.
• Ensure the plug has all three prongs it came with and is plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is grounded in accordance with local regulations.
• If your machine is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), DO
NOT remove or alter it. Replace if damaged.
• If the GFCI is dropped or damaged, be certain to test it to make sure it is still
working correctly.
WARNING – EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of extension cords is not recommended.
• If the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, then it must be plugged into a
GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles
• ALWAYS use a 3-wire extension cord that has three prongs for proper
grounding.
• DO NOT yank or pull on extension cords.
• ALWAYS replace if damaged.
• The extension cord gauge MUST be adequate for the power demands of the
pressure washer to prevent stalling, overheating or short-circuiting.
HOW TO CONTROL PRESSURE
• The pressure washer is preset at the factory to deliver the optimum
performance for its set up.
• Do not adjust the unloader.
• Adjusting the unloader can lead to failures, including poor performance, engine
stalling, and breaking internal parts of the pump and unloader.
• The primary method of controlling pressure is by the distance between the
nozzle and the surface. Always start far away and slowly move closer to the
surface.
• The angle of spray to the surface will also influence pressure. For example,
coming at the surface at a 90° angle will have more impact force than a
shallow angle.
• Pressure can also be controlled by the type of nozzle that is put into the tip.
The wider the spray, the less pressure directly impacting the surface.
• Pressure can also be decreased by using nozzles with a larger orifice size.
• Be careful when cleaning any soft surface like wood or anything that can crack
or break apart, like glass or paint.
