• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning
to use your pressure washer.
• NEVER spray directly at a person, animal, electrical
device, or the unit itself. The pressure washer can
break glass if hit with direct contact.
• When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun and
lance with two hands when pulling the trigger (one hand
to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize the gun) until
you get used to the "recoil" from the spray gun.
• When you turn the power switch to the off position,
water pressure may remain in the system. To release
the pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction and
pull the trigger.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids.
• NEVER use the power washer in areas that contain
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• Examine the hose regularly. Replace if damaged. Due
to the high pressure involved, it cannot be repaired if
cut or damaged.
• Only use detergent specifically formulated for power
washers and follow instructions on the detergent's label.
• Detergent can be harmful to your skin, eyes and lungs.
Please be cautious when handling any chemicals. Dish
and laundry soap is too thick and will clog the nozzle of
your detergent bottle.
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors in a
heated environment to prevent the water
in the unit from freezing and expanding.
When the water freezes and expands,
the high-pressure pump will crack and
render the pressure washer inoperable. It
is recommended you use pump saver (not
included) to protect pumps from freezing
and cracking.
• NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the seals and components in the
high-pressure pump that cannot be repaired.
• NEVER leave the power washer "ON" while it is
unattended.
• ALWAYS turn the water supply "ON " before turning the
power washer power to "ON". Running the pump dry
of water will cause damage to the internal components
and render the pressure washer inoperable.
• NEVER use a water supply to your power washer that
exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
• NEVER disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power washer while the system is pressurized.
• NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanisms
on the spray gun.
• NEVER operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
• NEVER allow the power washer pump to run for more
than one minute after you have turned off the water
supply. This can cause the motor and pump to overheat
and fail.
• NEVER use an extension power cord.
• NEVER use an extension power cord since it causes
voltage drop and can burn the motor. Also increases
risk of electric shock to the operator.
• NEVER use lances or other parts that are not compatible
for this specific Westinghouse unit.
• NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. DO NOT use it if
it is damaged.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCE GFCI PROTECTION
This
pressure
washer
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the
power-supply cord. A GFCI provides additional protection
from the risk of electric shock. If replacement of the plug
or cord is necessary, use identical replacement parts that
include GFCI protection.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. Grounding means are
not provided for a double insulated product, nor should
grounding means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should only be
done by qualified service personnel.
A double-insulated product is marked with the words
"Double Insulation" or "Double Insulated". Product may
also be marked with symbol shown below:
