product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug - 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.

into an outlet according to instructions on the GFCI. DO NOT use the
pressure washer if the test fails! The GFCI 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.

protected receptacles. When using an extension cord, consult a qualified
electrician to determine the proper wire gauge needed for the length of
the extension cord.

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

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 connect and disconnect the extension cord from
