GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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.

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 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

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 electrical shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection. See Figure 8 for testing procedure.

WARNING: Connect directly to outlet. Do not use with extension cord. The use of an extension cord will override the GFCI built into the plug of the power supply cord resulting in the risk of electrical shock.
