2. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, ex-
cessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protect-
ed with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is properly rated for this item. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
4. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Always disconnect the extension cord
from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION (GFCI)
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.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a
double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”
The symbol (right) may also be marked on the product.
WARNING:
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING:
Do not immerse the pressure washer in water. Do not expose power plug or outlet to rain
or water. Only use with an extension cord suitable for outdoors.
NOTE: Because the electric pressure washer already includes a 36 foot power cord, we do not recommend using
any additional extension cord longer than 25 feet.
Extension Cord Recommendations
Cord Length
25 ft.
Wire Gauge 14 gauge
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The ta-
ble to the right shows the correct size to be used according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
