Electrical Safety
ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical
MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the
equipment. This can, in turn, inuence 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 nd 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
qualied 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 lter should be installed.
Safety devices
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds preset
values. 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. The machine will restart after a few
minutes when the thermal sensor has cooled.
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 qualied service personnel at
an authorized Snow Joe
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
also be marked on the appliance.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – A
GFCI should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the pressure washer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
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.
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 t into a polarized outlet only one
way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, make sure
that you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the
