Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection:
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. Grounding means
are not provided for a double insulated product, nor
should grounding means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should only be
Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must
be identical to the original parts.
A double-insulated product is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. Product
may also be marked with symbol shown here.
26. Warning-If connection is made to a potable water
system, the system should be protected against
backflow.
This pressure washer is equipped with a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plugs 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.
Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to
detergent.
29. ALWAYS turn the water supply on before turning
the power washer power to on. Running the pump
dry will cause damage to the internal components.
