60 Hz at 15 -or- 20 amperes. Any other appliances on the circuit should be turned o

or unplugged when using the pressure washer. Never use the pressure washer with an

adapter that may lead to higher voltage or excessive current. Excessive current may

trip circuit breaker. Consult a qualied electrician if unsure of the desired power supply

receptacle’s ability to safely power this pressure washer.

POWER SUPPLY

CAUTION:CAUTION:

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE AN EXTENSION CORD. If, however, an extension

cord is required, it must be an OUTDOOR RATED 3-PRONG CORD, that is no longer

than 50 feet (15M) and has a minimum of 14 AWG (2.5mm2) conductors. Always uncoil

the extension cord when in use. DO NOT use an extension cord that has its ground pin

damaged or missing.

NOTICE

This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

It is important to understand what personal protective equipment (PPE) should be

utilized when using your pressure washer. Below is a list of PPE items that should

be utilized at all times when using the pressure washer.

Hearing - Ear plugs or mus to protect your hearing.

Vision - Safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes.

Clothing - Long pants to protected your legs from ying debris.

Shoes - Shoes that fully cover your feet to protect against debris and over spray.

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.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection

Should replacement of the plug or cord becomes necessary, use only identical replacement

parts that include GFCI protection.

Grounding Instructions

This pressure washer 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 that contains an equipment grounding conductor and

a grounding plug. The plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Thermal Relief Valve

When the temperature inside the pump rises to a predetermined setting, this valve will open

allowing the hot water to exit and cool water to enter, cooling the pump. The value will then

close.

Motor Overload

The electric motor in this pressure washer is equipped with an thermal overload protection

device. This device will automatically shut o the motor if the motor overheats or draws

too excessive current. If the overload protection is tripped, turn the power o by turning

the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position. Let the unit cool for thirty (30) minutes.

After the unit has cooled, turn the master ON/OFF switch to the ON (l) position to resume

operation.

Install knob-style handle

Slide the handle onto the frame then secure

it with the included knobs and bolts.

Adding the pump breather cap (if applicable)

A RED shipping plug is in the pump that must be replaced with a BLACK breather cap.

The plug is easy to replace with the following steps:

1. Using a bladed screw driver, remove the RED shipping plug from the top of the pump.

2. Hand thread the BLACK breather cap into the pump.

3. Snug the cap with your ngers.
