and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket. If the supply cord is
damaged it must be replaced by a service agent or similarly qualified person if order to avoid
hazard. Your pressure washer is supplied with a fitted plug, however if you should need to fit a
new plug follow the instruction below. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
