•Risk of explosion – Do not spray flammable liquids.

•Disconnect the tool – Disconnect from the electrical power supply before performing any maintenance task.

•Keep children away – This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used by children or untrained personnel.

•To ensure appliance safety, use only original replacement parts from the manufacturer or those approved by the manufacturer.

mWARNING! Water that has flowed through backflow preventers is considered to be non-potable.

mWARNING! During cleaning, maintenance or when replacing parts, the machine must be disconnected from its power source by removing the plug from the socket outlet.

mWARNING! High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are important for the safe operation of the appliance.

Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

•Check for damaged parts – Do not use the appliance if the supply cord or other important parts of the appliance are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses, trigger gun).

mWARNING! If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.

mWARNING! Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.

•This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used at temperatures below 32ºF (0°C).

mWARNING! Power cords on drums should always be completely unwound to prevent the cord from overheating.

•Power cord connections should be kept dry and off the ground.

•If the power cord is damaged, do not use the appliance.

Contact your authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

•Keep the machine on a stable, flat surface during operation, handling, transportation, and storage. Sudden overturn of the machine can cause bodily injury.

•In the event of an accident or breakdown, switch off the machine immediately. (If contact with detergent occurs, rinse with an abundance of clean water.)

Electrical Safety

ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical mains, short voltage drops may appear when starting the equipment.

This can, in turn, influence other equipment

(e.g. cause a lamp to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.335 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (If you require assistance, contact your local supply authority for further information.)

mWARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects. If you find any, do not start up your machine and contact your distributor.

The following should be observed when connecting the high-pressure electric power washer to the electric supply:

•The electric supply connection should be performed by a qualified person.

•The electric supply to this appliance should include either a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to the earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will interrupt the earth circuit (GFCI).

IMPORTANT: Only use water without any impurities.

If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet water (i.e. from your own well), an additional filter should be installed.

Safety Devices

The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock is activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.

1.Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor against overloading. If the thermal sensor is activated and the power is cut off, wait for a while until the motor is cool and restart the unit.

2.Double insulation – In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and

should be performed only by qualified service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance

is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double

Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

3.Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power-supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.

4.It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a 35 ft GFCI power cord. Using an extension cord may

cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

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.

m WARNING m

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Heed these warnings:

•Do not allow any part of the electric pressure washer to make contact with water while it is in operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry before starting.

•Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. The pressure washer comes equipped with a 35 ft power cable. Combined cord length must not exceed 60 ft. Any extension cord must be 14-gauge (or heavier) to safely power the pressure washer.

•Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots offers some protection.

mWARNING! 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.

Table 1. Method of Securing Extension Cord

Cord set

Appliance cord

(A)Tie cord as shown

(B)Connect plug and receptacle

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.

Risk of electrocution

•Inspect cord before using.

•Do not use if cord is damaged.

•Keep all connections dry and off the ground.

•Do not touch plug with wet hands.

•Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.

•Do not spray electrical apparatus and wiring.

Risk of explosion

•Do not spray flammable liquids.

•Do not use acids, bases, solvents, or any flammable material in this product. These substances can cause physical injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the machine.

Additional safety instructions

•High-pressure: keep clear of nozzle.

•Injection hazard: equipment can cause serious injury if the spray penetrates the skin.

•Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

•In case of skin penetration, seek medical aid immediately.

•Before servicing, cleaning, or removing any parts, shut off the power and relieve pressure.

•This machine is not suitable for connection to the potable water mains.

Product Description

Purpose

•This electric high pressure washer is intended for residential use only. It is designed for medium-to-heavy duty cleaning jobs on boats, motorcycles, RV’s, ATV’s, trailers, decks, barbecues, siding, patio furniture, and more.

Areas of application

•Never use the machine in potentially explosive areas under any circumstances!

•The operating temperature must be between 32ºF (0ºC) and 104ºF (40ºC).

•The machine consists of an assembly with a pump, which is encased in a shock-absorbing housing. To provide the operator with an optimal working position, the machine is equipped with a spray wand and a non-slip handle grip, whose shape and configuration comply with applicable regulations.

•Do not cover or modify the spray wand or the spray nozzle in any way.

•The high-pressure electric power washer is designed to be used with cold or lukewarm water; higher temperatures can damage the pump.

•Do not use water that is dirty, gritty, or contains any chemical products, as such impurities could impair operation and shorten the life of the machine.
