18. Prior to starting the pressure washer in cold weather, be sure ice has not formed in any part of
the equipment.
19. Ensure the pressure washer is not covered during operation to avoid overheating the motor.

damage and personal injury, do not operate the pump with components rated for less than
2,000 PSI working pressure.
21. If connecting the pressure washer to a portable water system, ensure the water system is

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Electrical Safety
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/accessories or
when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body
contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will
prevent an accidental startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
4. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with
built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.
5. Make certain that power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
6. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the
most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and
Safety (CCOHS).
CAUTION! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Polarized Plug
Double insulated tools eliminate the need for a 3-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system. The tool is equipped instead with a polarized plug that requires a polarized outlet/power supply.
1. A polarized plug has two blades of different widths, allowing only one way to insert the plug
into the outlet.
2. Reverse the plug if it does not fully fit into the outlet.
3. If the outlet does not accept a polarized plug, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet.
4. Do not alter the plug as this may compromise the built-in safety feature.
CAUTION! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
