ELECTRICAL
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servic-
ing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that
is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
WARNING
Keep the cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which guards against the
hazards of ground fault currents. An example of ground fault current is the current that would
, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
To test:
Depress the TEST button. This should cause the light to turn off.
To restore power, depress the RESET button. Light will turn on.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.
WARNING
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the product’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
DOUBLE INSULATED
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal
metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated products do not need to be
grounded.

Remove the cap from the detergent tank and add detergent.

CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE (See Figure.)
C A U T I O N
Always observe all local regulations when connecting hoses to the water main. Some areas have
restrictions against connecting directly to public drinking water supply to prevent the feedback
of chemicals into the drinking water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank or
backflow preventer is usually permitted.
Uncoil the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted garden hose between the water intake and the
garden hose faucet or shut off valve(such as a “Y” shut off connector).
Run water through the garden hose for 120 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.
With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the end of the garden hose to the water
intake. Tighten by hand only.
