SAFETY INFORMATION
safety lock when not using the power washer even if
the spraying stops for a moment.
26. The power washer is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly reduces the
chance of electric shock while the unit is in use. If
replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only
identical replacement parts.
27. Point the spray gun in a safe direction when
beginning a power washing session.
28. Warning –
NEVER
spray directly at a person, animal,
electrical device or the unit itself.
29. When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun
and lance with two hands when pulling the trigger
(one hand to pull the trigger and the other to
stabilize the gun assembly) until you get used to the
“kickback” from the spray gun.
30. When you turn the power switch off, water pressure
may remain in the system. To discharge the
pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction and
pull the trigger.
31.
NEVER
spray flammable liquids.
32.
NEVER
use the power washer in areas that contain
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
33. Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp
objects and examine the hose regularly. Replace
if damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it
cannot be repaired if cut or damaged.
34. Only use detergent specifically formulated for power
washers and follow instructions on the detergent’s
label.
35. Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to
detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and will
clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
36. Warning-If connection is made to a potable water
system, the system Should be protected against
backflow.
CAUTION
Store the power washer indoors to prevent
the water in the unit from expanding under
freezing conditions. When the water freezes and
expands, your power washer will be damaged and
become inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is
recommended you use pump saver (not included)
to protect pumps.
37.
NEVER
use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the high pressure pump.
38.
NEVER
leave the power washer unattended while it
is powered “ON”.
39.
ALWAYS
turn the water supply “ON ” before turning
the power washer power to “ON”. Running the pump
dry will cause damage to the internal components.
40.
NEVER
use a water supply to your power washer
that exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
41.
NEVER
disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power washer while the system is pressurized.
42.
NEVER
permanently engage the trigger mechanism
on the spray gun.
43.
NEVER
operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
44.
NEVER
allow the power washer pump to run for
more than one minute after you have turned off the
water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
45.
NEVER
use lances or other parts that are not
compatible for this specific AR Blue Clean unit.
46.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION POWER CORD
since it
defeats the effectiveness of the GFCI and increases
the chance of electrocuting the operator.
47.
NEVER
spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
48. Inspect the power cord before using.
DO NOT
use it
if it is damaged.

Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection:
This pressure washer is equipped with a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plugs 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.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. Grounding means
are not provided for a double insulated product, nor
should grounding means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should only be
