chlorine bleach or any other
corrosive compound.
RISK TO FLUID
INJECTION
• Your washer operates at fluid
pressures and velocities high enough
to penetrate human and animal flesh,
which could result in amputation or
other serious injury. 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!

is not reduced before attempting
maintenance or disassembly.
• To relieve system pressure, place
on/off switch in off position, turn off
water supply, and pull gun trigger
until water stops flowing.
• Use only hose and high pressure
accessories rated for pressure higher
than your pressure washer's p.s.i.
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
• Water spray directed at electrical
outlets or switches, or objects con-
nected to an electrical circuit, could
result in a fatal electrical shock.
• Unplug any electrically operated
product before attempting to clean it.

properly unless connected to a fully
grounded electrical circuit!
• Extension cords can lead to electrical
shock.
•Always connect cordset to a
properly grounded and polarized
electrical circuit. Your cordset is
equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) for your personal

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.
