IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION:
This pressure washer is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) built into the plug or the power supply cord. This device provides
additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the
cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include
GFCI protection.
4. EXTENSION CORDS:
Nilfisk-Advance DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION
CORDS! If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must be plugged into a
GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an
extension cord, observe the following:
Cable Length
Up to 50 feet
50 to 100 feet
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and
3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only
extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store
indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating
not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away
from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the
receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not allow electrical cords to lay in water or in such a position
where water could come in contact with them. Do not touch plug with wet
hands!
5. DO NOT drop the GFCI as damage could result. If the GFCI is accidentally
dropped, be certain to test the GFCI before using to ensure it is working
properly. (Follow instructions on GFCI for test procedures)
6. DO NOT pull on the electrical cord to disconnect from the outlet, OR carry the
unit by the cord.
7. Check power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of electrical
shock from crushing, cutting or heat damage.
8. Always be certain the unit is receiving proper voltage. Before plugging the
unit into a compatible power source, be certain the switch is in the "OFF"
position. Disconnect when not in use.
9. DO NOT use the unit in an area where flammable gas vapors may be present.
An electric spark could cause an explosion or fire.
10. DO NOT direct water spray on or into electrical installations of any kind. This
includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, the unit itself
etc. Severe electrical shock may occur.
11. Nilfisk-Advance does not recommend the owner attempt any electrical repairs to
this unit.
