SAFETY FEATURES

AUTOMATIC TOTAL STOP
The pressure washer is equipped with a stop device which will sense when the trigger on the gun
is released. It will open the power circuit to the motor and cause the pressure washer to stop.
WARNING: If Automatic Total Stop® fails to operate, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE.
Contact our Customer Service department. Further use will damage the
machine and/or cause personal injury.
WARNING: The pressure washer is also equipped with a main power ON/OFF switch
located on the unit. It should always be moved to the OFF position when the
pressure washer is not being used to prevent possible injury or damage.
MOTOR OVERLOAD
The electric motor in this pressure washer is equipped with an overload protection device which
will automatically shut off the motor in the event the motor draws excessive current or overheats.
The device will automatically reset itself and resume normal operation after a short period of time.
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.
SERVICING A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should
a means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be
identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the words
"DOUBLE-INSULATION" or "DOUBLE-INSULATED". The symbol above may also be
marked on the product.
