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.
3. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this
pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a 35 ft GFCI
power cable. Using an extension cord may cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, make sure that you are
using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, power
cord receptacle, or power cord plug in any way.
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. 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 with 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 yank
on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and
sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from
the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
