installation & preparation
POWER CORD CONNECTION
1. Make certain the motor switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Ensure electrical supply is identical to the specifications listed on the
pressure washer data plate.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION:
a. SINGLE PHASE: If this pressure washer is provided with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug or the power supply
cord, test the GFCI each time it is plugged 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.
b. SINGLE PHASE: If this pressure washer is not provided
with a GFCI, this pressure washer should only be connected
to a receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to comply with the National Electric Code
(NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of
electric shock.
c. THREE PHASE: These pressure washers are not provided
with GFCI protection.
