CONTROLS AND FEATURES

1.The Pressure Washer features an automatic On/Off Micro Switch. The Motor (C) of the Pressure Washer does not run continuously, but only when the Trigger (23A) is squeezed. When spraying water through the unit stops, the Motor will automatically shut off. However, the unit will build up heat while idle. If the unit is left to sit, then the electrical circuit’s beaker will eventually trip. For this reason, if the unit is not to be used for longer than 2 minutes, shut the Switch to “OFF”.

2.The Pressure Washer features a 3-Prong, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Power Plug (95). The GFCI

An integrated pressure gauge allows for easy monitoring of the tank's pressure, enabling precision in various tasks.

The 47761 model is also equipped with overheating protection. This safety feature automatically shuts off the compressor if it becomes too hot, extending the lifespan of the unit and ensuring user safety.

Moreover, the compressor comes with a set of essential accessories, including an air hose and quick connect fittings, allowing users to start their projects immediately.
