Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if
inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting
or poisoning. The harmful elements may cause
property damage or severe injury.
Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal
electric shock may result.
High pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues,
leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
High pressure spray can cause particles to become
airborne and fly at high speeds.
Inspect hose each time before using it. Water
spraying from a leak is capable of injecting material
into skin. Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasions
or bulging of cover, or damage or movement of
couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace
hose immediately. Never repair high pressure hose.
Replace it with another hose that exceeds maximum
pressure rating of your pressure washer.
Never move the machine by pulling on the high
pressure hose. Use the handle provided on the cart
or top of the unit.
Keep the hose connected to machine and the spray
gun while the system is pressurized. Disconnecting
the hose while the unit is pressurized is dangerous.
Never aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.
High pressure spray may damage fragile items
including glass. Do Not point spray gun at glass
when in the high pressure mode.

Extension Cords
We Do Not recommend the use of extension cords
with this device. If it is necessary to use one, however,
then you must use only extension cords that are
approved for outside use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking ACCEPTABLE FOR USE
WITH OUTDOOR APPLIANCES. Also observe the
following specifications:

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
Protection
To provide protection from the risk of electrical shock,
this electric pressure washer is equipped with a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Read the
instructions on the plug for use or see Before Starting
Pressure Washer on page 8. The GFCI 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 power is interrupted in the
line, the GFCI provides protection even if neutral is
also grounded at the load.
IMPORTANT: The GFCI device will not automatically
reconnect the circuit to the load after power is
restored. After correcting any shorting problem, you
must manually press the reset button to restore power
to the pressure washer.
Servicing of a DoubleInsulated
Appliance
In a double-insulated product, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
product, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated product must be identical
to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is
marked with the words Double Insulation or Double
Insulated. This symbol is marked on the product.
