EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, possibly
resulting in overheating, loss of power, and/or circuit
breaker or GFCI tripping. Use the chart to determine the
minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL)
should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make a knot, then connect the plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This
method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.

See Figure 15.
NOTICE:
Always observe all local regulations when connecting
hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions
against connecting directly to public drinking water sup-
ply to prevent the feedback of chemicals into the drinking
water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank
or backflow preventer is usually permitted.
The water supply must come from a water main. NEVER use
hot water or water from pools, lakes, etc. Before connecting
the garden hose to the pressure washer:
Run water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean any
debris from the hose.
Inspect the screen in the water intake.
If the screen is damaged, do not use the machine until
the screen has been replaced.
If the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the garden
hose to the machine.
To connect the garden hose to the machine:
Completely uncoil the garden hose or remove completely
from reel to prevent kinks.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted
hose between the pressure washer intake and the hose
faucet or shut off valve (such as a “Y” shut off connector).
With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the
end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by
hand.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
