4.  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.

  If an extension cord is going to be used, use only extension 

cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension 

cords are identified by marking "Acceptable for use with 

outdoor appliance; store indoors while not in use". Use 

only extension cord having 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 extension cord from 

the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the 

extension cord. 

5.  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 plug 

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.

WARNING! 

To reduce the risk of  electrocution, keep 

all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with 

wet hand.

6.  To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the 

extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two 

cords as shown in Table 1.

7.  Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the pressure washer 

by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the 

receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and  

sharp edges.
