Interrupter Built Into The Power Cord Plug. If Replacement
Of The Plug Or Cord Is Needed, Use Only Identical Replace-
ment Parts.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Cord Connected, Grounded Products:
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 con-
ductor. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
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, do not cut off the ground
pin - 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.
4. To comply with the national electric code, this pressure
washer should only be connected to a receptacle that is
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
5. EXTENSION CORDS:
Use of extension cords is not recommended.
6. NEVER operate an electrically powered washer after it has
tripped a breaker or a ground fault device without having the
reason for the trip determined by an authorized service
engineer or competent electrician.
7. Use only in a dry area. Do not handle electrical cords and
plugs when they are wet, when your hands are wet, or when
standing in water. Do not spray high pressure water on to
the machine.
