INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
POWER CORD CONNECTION:
1. Make certain the switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Ensure electrical supply is identical to the specifications listed on the
pressure washer data plate.
3. 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. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
4. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a 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 - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adaptor
with this product.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION:
a. SINGLE PHASE: If this pressure washer is provided with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug or the power supply
cord, test the GFCI each time it is plugged into an outlet according
to instructions on the GFCI. DO NOT use the pressure washer if
the test fails! The GFCI 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.
b. SINGLE PHASE: If this pressure washer is not provided with a GFCI,
this pressure washer should only be connected to a receptacle that
is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to comply
with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional
protection from the risk of electric shock.
c. THREE PHASE: These pressure washers are not provided with
GFCI protection.
6. EXTENSION CORDS: Mi-T-M DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF
EXTENSION CORDS! If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must
be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles.
When using an extension cord, consult a qualified electrician to determine
the proper wire gauge needed for the length of the extension cord.
SINGLE PHASE:
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug
from the product.
THREE PHASE: Use only 4 wire extension cords that have 4-prong grounding
type plugs and 4-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the
product.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These
extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with
outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use." Use only extension
cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product.
Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do
not pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and
sharp edges. Always connect or disconnect the extension cord from
the receptacle before connecting or disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
7. Ensure the area between the pressure washer cord and outlet is kept
dry.
8. Insert the male plug into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT use an adapter
OR remove the grounding plug!!
BURNER FUEL TANK:
1. Review "Risk of Explosion or Fire" pg. 5, before fueling.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Fill the burner fuel tank with good quality, clean No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil/
diesel or kerosene. Do not use gasoline!
