Safety Information
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
•
Detergent can be harmful to your skin, eyes and lungs.
Please be cautious when handling any chemicals.
Dish and laundry soap is too thick and will clog the
nozzle of your detergent bottle.
IMPORTANT:
Store the power washer indoors in a
heated environment to prevent the water in the unit
from freezing and expanding. When the water freezes
and expands, the high-pressure pump will crack
and render the pressure washer inoperable. It is
recommended you use pump saver (not included) to
protect pumps from freezing and cracking.
•
NEVER
use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the seals and components in the
high-pressure pump that cannot be repaired.
•
NEVER
leave the power washer “ON” while it is
unattended.
•
ALWAYS
turn the water supply “ON ” before turning
the power washer power to “ON”. Running the
pump dry of water will cause damage to the internal
components and render the pressure washer
inoperable.
•
NEVER
use a water supply to your power washer that
exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
•
NEVER
disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power washer while the system is pressurized.
•
NEVER
permanently engage the trigger mechanisms
on the spray gun.
•
NEVER
operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
•
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.
•
NEVER
use an extension power cord since it causes
voltage drop and can burn the motor. Also increases
risk of electric shock to the operator
•
NEVER
use lances or other parts that are not
compatible for this specific Westinghouse unit.
•
NEVER
spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
•
Inspect the power cord before using.
DO NOT
use it if
it is damaged.
Double Insulated Product
Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection:
This pressure washer has a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the
power-supply cord. A GFCI provides additional protection
from the risk of electric shock. If replacement of the plug
or cord is necessary, use 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
done by qualified service personnel.
A double-insulated product is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. Product may
also be marked with symbol shown below:
