The Husky 1800 Powerwasher requires a 15 amp minimum rated circuit to function properly. It is important that your Husky unit does not share a circuit with any other electrical device. If the circuit is shared, the additional device will create an amperage drain that ultimately causes the Husky to draw more amperage in order to run full force. Eventually the machine will overheat and shut itself down.
The Husky shuts down as part of the designed safety feature to protect against overheating. The same effect occurs when two or more outlets are connected to the same circuit. The diagram below shows outlet 1 and outlet 2 on the same circuit.
In regards to overheating and restarting, the unit requires a minimum of a 45 minute period in which the machine can properly cool.
