SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment Description
WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator's
manual and all operating instructions before
using could result in death or serious injury.
• Read this manual carefully and become familiar with
your electric pressure washer. Know its applications, its
limitations, and any hazards involved.
This electric pressure washer operates at a maximum
of 2,000 PSI (138 BAR) and a flow rate of up to1.2 GPM
(4.5 liters/min).
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information
in this manual is accurate and current. However, we
reserve the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the
product and this document at any time without prior notice.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
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.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. DANGER - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of
adaptor with this product.

Automatic Shut-Off
The electric pressure washer is equipped with a sensor
that will detect that water flow has stopped when releasing
the spray gun trigger. The sensor will cause the motor to
shut off for as long as the spray gun trigger is released.
If the motor continues to run when the spray gun trigger is
released, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. Call the electric
pressure washer helpline at (800) 743-4115 for assistance.
NOTICE The electric pressure washer is equipped with a
main power ON/OFF switch. The switch should always be
moved to the OFF position (0) when the electric pressure
washer is not being used to prevent possible damage.
Motor Overload
The electric motor in this electric pressure washer is
equipped with an overload protection device (thermostat).
This device will automatically shut off the motor if the motor
overheats or draws excessive current.
If overload protection device is tripped, disconnect power
supply by turning master ON/OFF switch to OFF (0)
position. Let unit cool for 30 minutes. Then turn master ON/
OFF switch to ON (I) position to resume operation.
