GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug of the power-supply cord. This device
provides additional protection from the risk of
electric shock. Should replacement of the plug
or cord become necessary, use only identical
replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product – if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of adaptor
with this product.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord
connectors that accept the plug from the
product. Use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable
for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors
while not in use.” Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the
rating of the product. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension cord
before using and replace if damaged. Do not
abuse extension cord and do not yank on any
cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat
and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the extension
cord.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of
electrocution, keep all connections dry and off
the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
