It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them
from becoming disconnected during use. Make a knot, then connect the plug end
of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can
also be used to tie two extension cords together.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstruc-
tions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace imme-
diately. Never use the product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
See Figure 2.
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on this unit will reset to ON when
plugged in. In the event of a ground fault, press the RESET button to restore power.
This GFCI guards against the hazards of ground fault currents. An example of
ground fault current is the current that would flow through a person who is using
an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an
electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
NOTE:
To ensure readiness for use, press the TEST button each time you connect
the pressure washer to the power supply.
To test:
• Depress the TEST button. This should cause the Reset button to pop out.
• To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.
ÉLECTRICITÉ
DOUBLE ISOLATION
La double isolation est un concept de sécurité relatif aux outils électriques qui élimine la
nécessité d’utiliser un cordon d’alimentation à trois broches avec mise à la terre. Toutes les
pièces de métal exposées sont isolées des composants métalliques internes du moteur au
moyen d’une isolation protectrice. Les produits protégés par une double isolation n’ont pas
besoin d’être mis à la terre.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Le système à double isolation vise à protéger l’utilisateur du choc résultant d’une faille dans
HOW TO OPERATE
PRECAUCIÓN:
Obedezca siempre las normas locales cuando conecte mangueras a la tubería
principal de abastecimiento de agua. En algunas áreas hay ciertas limitaciones para conec-
tarse directamente a la toma pública de agua potable para evitar que ésta se contamine con
químicos que podrían introducirse en ella. En general, está permitido hacer una conexión
directa a través de un depósito receptor o de dispositivos que impiden que el agua fluya
hacia la toma.
La toma de agua debe provenir de una tubería principal de abastecimiento de agua. NUNCA
use agua caliente, agua de albercas o lagos, etc. Antes de conectar la manguera de jardín:
• Desenrosque la manguera de jardín.
NOTA:
Debe haber una manguera de jardín de por lo menos 10 pies y que no tenga obstácu-
los entre la entrada de agua y la llave de paso o válvula de seguridad (como un conector de
seguridad en forma de “Y”) de la manguera de jardín.
• Deje correr el agua a través de la manguera de jardín durante 30 segundos para limpiar
cualquier desecho que haya quedado en la manguera.
• Revise el filtro de la entrada de agua.
• Si el filtro está averiado, no use la máquina hasta que lo haya reemplazado.
• Si el filtro está sucio, límpielo antes de conectar la manguera de jardín a la máquina.
• Cierre por completo la llave de paso de la manguera, sujete el racor metálico a la entrada
de agua y gírelo en el sentido de las manecillas del reloj para ajustarlo con firmeza.
• Sujete la manguera de jardín al racor metálico y ajústelo manualmente.
