7.
120 Volts AC at 15 Amps that is properly installed in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordinances. The indicator
light on the GFCI should be ON.

is engaged. To stop the electric pressure washer and turn off the
motor:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position.
NOTICE Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but
does not shut off electrical power to the unit.

spray gun trigger to relieve built-up pressure in the unit.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in serious
injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze spray gun
trigger to release high pressure, every time you turn off pressure
washer.
