ELECTRICAL

GROUNDING
See Figure 1.
This product must be grounded. Grounding creates a
path of least resistance for electrical current in the case
of a malfunction or breakdown which reduces the risk of
electric shock. This appliance comes with an electrical
cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and and a grounding plug. The plug is designed to fit
into a matching outlet that is installed and grounded
appropriately. Follow all local codes and ordinances.
If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a qualified
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do
not under any circumstances cut or remove the prong.
WARNING
needs to be repaired or replaced, take the appliance to
an authorized service center. An improperly installed
cord can create the risk of electric shock.
If the grounding instructions are not fully understood
or if there is any uncertainty as to whether the product
is correctly grounded, consult a licensed electrician
or contact customer service. Have a damaged cord
replaced or repaired immediately.
AC MOTOR
The electric motor in this product was designed to
work with a nominal 120V/60Hz AC power supply
(average U.S. household circuit). It is not intended
to operate on direct current (DC). A significant voltage
drop will result in a loss of power and could damage
the motor.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
PROTECTION
See Figure 1.
This pressure washer has a ground-fault
interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power-supply
cord. A GFCI protects against ground fault currents such
as a current that would flow through a person standing
on a wet surface while holding a product with faulty
insulation. GFCI plugs do not protect against shocks,
short circuits, and overloads. If replacement of the plug
or cord is necessary, use identical replacement parts
that include GFCI protection.

If the power cord is damaged and
To test the GFCI:
l .Plug the power supply cord into a receptacle.
l .Press the TEST button and listen for a "click" indicating
that the connection to the power supply was broken.
l .Press the RESET button to restore power to the device.
The LED light will turn on when power is restored.
Test the GFCI monthly to ensure proper operation.
