WARNING: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION! THIS UNIT MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER OR REMOVE THE THIRD
GROUNDING PRONG.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION, KEEP ALL
CONNECTIONS DRY AND OFF THE GROUND. DO NOT
TOUCH PLUG WITH WET HANDS.
1. Make certain the motor switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Ensure electrical supply is identical to the specifications listed on the pressure
washer data plate.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
4. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adaptor
with this product.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION: This pressure
washer is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug or the power supply cord, test the GFCI each time it is plugged into
an outlet according to instructions on the GFCI. DO NOT use the pressure
washer if the test fails! The GFCI 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.
6. EXTENSION CORDS: Mi-T-M DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF
EXTENSION CORDS! If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must
be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances;
store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical
rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse extension cord and do not pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep
cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always connect or disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before connecting or disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.
7. Ensure the area between the pressure washer cord and outlet is kept dry.
8. Insert the male plug into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT use an adapter
OR remove the grounding plug!!
