Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your pressure washer. Know its applications,
its limitations, and any hazards involved.
This pressure washer operates at a maximum of 1800 PSI
and a flow rate of up to 1.6 gallons per minute (6.05 liters
per minute).
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this
manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
This product must be properly grounded. This electric pressure
washer is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The device will disconnect both power conductors to
the load circuit in the event of an interruption in either or both
supply circuit power conductors. If a malfunction or breakdown
occurs, the GFCI provides protection.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Read the instructions on the plug for
use or see Before Starting Pressure Washer.
Automatic Shut-Off
The pressure washer is equipped with a sensor that will
detect that high pressure water flow has stopped when
releasing or locking the spray gun trigger. The sensor will
cause the motor to shut off for as long as the spray gun
trigger is released or locked.
If the motor continues to run when the spray gun trigger is
released or locked, DO NOT USE THE MACHINE. Call the
pressure washer helpline at (800) 743-4115 for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The pressure washer is equipped with a main
power ON/OFF switch. The switch should always be moved
to the OFF position when the pressure washer is not being
used to prevent possible damage.
Motor Overload
The electric motor in this pressure washer is equipped with
an overload protection device. This device will automatically
shut off the motor if the motor overheats or draws excessive
current. After a period of time, the device will reset and the
pressure washer can resume normal operation.
