PREVENTING

EQUIPMENT PROB- LEMS. To help you recognize this infor- mation, we use the symbols to the right. Please read the man- ual and pay attention to these sections.

indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to

be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in 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 adapter with this product.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use additional length of high pressure hose instead of extension cords to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating.

DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS. NOTE: The use of additional length of high pressure hose will lower the pressure washer's PSI below 1600.

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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!

Never pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

Always keep unit in a vertical position

DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.

Never turn water supply off while pressure washer motor is running or damage to pump will result.

This unit is equipped with an automatic stop mode. When the trigger is released the motor is shut off automatically. When the trigger is pressed again the motor will automatically start. The time between release and engagement must not be less than 4-5 seconds. DO NOT leave the unit in automatic stop mode for more than 15 minutes.

Stand on a stable surface and grip gun/wand firmly with both hands. Expect the gun to kick when triggered.
