ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
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. Replace compete GFCI cord assembly if either the GFCI, plug or cord is
damaged, frayed or worn.
GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
break down, 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.
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong 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 product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord
away form heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension
cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
the plug with wet hands.
Planning The Installation
Prior to beginning the installation, thoroughly consider where the unit will be located, access to utilities and tool requirements for the
job. These considerations will help to ensure the unit is properly installed in the best location with minimal difficulty.
Location
- Safety and convenience during use and servicing of the equipment should be a primary concern in determining the
specific location of the SMT wall-mounted cleaning system.
Accessibility
- A readily accessible unit will ensure that the cleaning will be done regularly and with less effort. Accessibility will also
provide convenience when servicing becomes necessary. Avoid installing the unit in a location that will become inaccessible.
Clearances
- Adequate clearance overhead and on both sides is important. Fourteen-inch overhead clearance is required to remove
the stainless steel cover. Ten-inch clearance is required on each side to remove the cover mounting hardware. Units equipped with
a wall-mounted hose reel will require additional clearance on the right side for manually rewinding the hose.
Structural support
- A fully assembled SMT wall-mount unit weights approximately 100 pounds. It is important for personal and
equipment safety that the unit is securely fastened to a wall that will sustain this weight. Walls with metal framing should include
backing for mounting the SMT unit.
Safety
- The unit should be mounted on the wall at a height that does not present a hazard of being struck by personnel or
interfering with the flow of traffic in the area in which the unit is installed.
Electrical
- The SMT unit is equipped with a 4-foot long power cord. The unit or the power receptacle should be positioned such
that the power cord can be easily connected to the receptacle with minimal strain on the cord. The power receptacle should be
located above the SMT unit away from risk of exposure to water.
Water
- The SMT unit is equipped with a 6-foot water supply hose. The unit or the hose bib should be positioned such that the
supply hose can be easily connected with minimal stress on the hose.
Noise
- As with all pressure washers, the SMT unit will make noise during operation. Avoid locating the unit in or adjoining any area
that is noise sensitive.
Chemical Supply
- The SMT unit can draw chemical from a 1-gallon bottle mounted on the wall or a 55-gallon drum. Ensure
adequate chemical storage space if chemical(s) will be drawn from a large container.
WARNING:
Unit is to be installed in a location designed for wet applications with an operable and adequate drain. If installation in such a
location is not possible, turn off the incoming water supply to the unit when unattended or not in use to minimize the possibility of
leaks and potential water damage.
