When using this product, basic, precautions should always be followed, including the following:
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE
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.
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". This symbol may also be marked on the product.
NOTICE
Store the pressure 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.
The following information is on your pressure washer's labels and decals.
Double insulation eliminates the need for a three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated products do not need to be grounded because exposed metal parts are covered in protective insulation that isolates them from internal metal motor components.
A double insulated system is designed to protect against shock caused by a break in the product's internal insulation. To avoid electric shock, follow all ordinary safety procedures.
NOTE: Double insulated products should only be serviced by qualified service technicians. For more information, contact Westinghouse customer service toll-free at 1 (855) 944-3571.
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.
See Figure 1.
This pressure washer has a ground-fault circuit-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.
To test the GFCI:
Test the GFCI monthly to ensure proper operation.
