• Risk of explosion – Do not spray flammable liquids.
• Disconnect the tool – Disconnect from the electrical power
supply before performing any maintenance task.
• Keep children away – This high-pressure electric
power washer must not be used by children or
untrained personnel.
• To ensure appliance safety, use only original
replacement parts from the manufacturer or those
approved by the manufacturer.

WARNING!
Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
m
WARNING!
During cleaning, maintenance or when
replacing parts, the machine must be disconnected from its
power source by removing the plug from the socket outlet.
m
WARNING!
High-pressure hoses, fittings, and
couplings are important for the safe operation of the
appliance. Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Check for damaged parts – Do not use the appliance if
the supply cord or other important parts of the appliance
are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hose,
trigger gun).
• This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used
at temperatures below 32ºF (0°C).
m
WARNING!
Power cords on drums should always be
completely unwound to prevent the cord from overheating.
• Power cord connections should be kept dry and off
the ground.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not use the appliance.

• Keep the machine on a stable, flat surface during operation,
handling, transportation, and storage. Sudden overturn of
the machine can cause bodily injury.
• In the event of an accident or breakdown, switch off the
machine immediately. (If contact with detergent occurs,
rinse with an abundance of clean water.)
Electrical Safety
ATTENTION:
If there are problems with the electrical mains,
short voltage drops may appear when starting the equipment.
This can, in turn, influence other equipment (e.g. cause a
lamp to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.335 OHM,
such disturbances are not expected (if you require assistance,
contact your local supply authority for further information).
m
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects.
If you find any, do not start up your machine and contact
your distributor.
The following should be observed when connecting the
high-pressure electric power washer to the electric supply:
• The electric supply connection should be performed by a
qualified person.
• The electric supply to this appliance should include either
a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to the earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that will interrupt the earth circuit (GFCI).
IMPORTANT:
Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet water (i.e. from
your own well), an additional filter should be installed.
Safety Devices
The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock is
activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
1. Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. If the thermal sensor is activated and
the power is cut off, wait for a while until the motor is cool
and restart the unit.
2. Double insulation – In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be performed only by qualified service personnel at
an authorized Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance
is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double
Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 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.
4. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this
pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a 35 ft
GFCI power cord. Using an extension cord may cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
