SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means are provided for a double-insulated product, nor should grounding means be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the original parts. A double-insulated product is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. Product may also be marked with symbol shown in Figure 1.
Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in the pressurized system. Ensure all equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working pressure of the unit.
Explosion hazard.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids or use
pressure washer in areas containing combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
•Never operate this machine in a closed
building or in or near an explosive environment.
Do not spray electrical apparatus and wiring.
•Never disconnect the high pressure
discharge hose from the machine while the system is pressurized. To depressurize machine, turn power and water supply off, then press gun trigger 2-3 times.
• Never permanently engage the trigger
mechanism on the gun.
• Never operate the machine without all
components properly connected to the machine (handle, gun/wand assembly, nozzle, etc.).
Equipment damage.
• ALWAYS turn water supply “ON” before turning pressure washer “ON”. Running pump dry causes serious damage.
• Do not operate the pressure washer with the inlet water screen removed. Keep screen clear of debris and sediment.
• NEVER operate pressure washer with broken or missing parts. Check equipment regularly and repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Use only the nozzle supplied with this machine.
• Never leave the wand unattended while the machine is running.
• Never attempt to alter factory settings. Altering factory settings could damage the unit and will void the warranty.
• Always hold gun and wand firmly when starting and operating the machine.
• NEVER allow the unit to run with the trigger released (off) for more than one (1) minute. Resulting heat buildup will damage pump.
• Pressure washer is not meant to pump hot water. NEVER connect it to a hot water supply as it will significantly reduce the life of the pump.
• NEVER store the pressure washer outdoors or where it could freeze. The pump will be seriously damaged.
• Release trigger when changing from high to low pressure modes. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged. Do not attempt to mend a damaged hose.
EXTENSION CORDS
If using an extension cord, use only grounded, three wire extension cords that are in good condition.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If one is used, then use only wire sizes and lengths shown in chart below.
