Safety Information
• NEVER use the power washer in areas that
contain combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
•
Examine the hose regularly. Replace if damaged.
Due to the high pressure involved, it cannot be
repaired if cut or damaged.
•
Only use detergent specifically formulated for
power washers and follow instructions on the
detergent's label.
• 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".
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.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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.
• 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.
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
