This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
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.
Z_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 wilt not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of
adapter with this product.
Z_WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electrocution, keep all connections dry
and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
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 electrical
shock. Should replacement of the plug or
cord become necessary, use only
identical replacement parts that include
GFCI protection. See Figure 8 for testing
procedure.
z_WARNING: Connect directly to
outlet. Do not use with extension cord.
The use of an extension cord will
override the GFCl built into the plug of
the power supply cord resulting in the
risk of electrical shock.
