in the Pump Saver section of this manual.

been supplied with your power washer.
35. Never use an extension power cord since it
defeats the eectiveness of the GFCI and
increases the chance of electrocuting
the operator.
36. Never spray any electrical outlet with your
power washer.
37. Inspect the power cord before using. Do not use
it if it is damaged.
