The Husky 1750 PowerWasher requires a 15 amp minimum rated circuit to function properly. It is important
that your Husky unit does
not
share a circuit with any other electrical device. If the circuit is shared, the
additional device will create an amperage drain that ultimately causes the Husky to draw more amperage in
order to run full force. Eventually the machine overheats and shuts itself down. The Husky shuts down as part of
the designed safety feature to protect againts overheating. The same effect occurs when two or more outlets are
connected to the same circuit. The diagram below shows outlet 1 and outlet 2 on the same circuit. When asking
the customer if they have any other electrical device plugged into the same outlet, make sure you explain to them
that it also means that nothing can be plugged into an outlet serviced by the same circuit breaker. In regards to
the overheating and restarting, the unit requires a minimum of 45 minute period in which the machine can
properly cool.
