EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords are not recommended for use on this pressure
washer. If the 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
washer. 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 yank any cord to disconnect.
Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
Use of smaller cords will cause electric motor stalling or circuit
breaker stoppage.
Check power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of
electrical shock from crushing, cutting or heat damage.
Always be certain the unit is receiving proper voltage. Before
plugging the unit into a compatible power source, be certain the
switch is in the "OFF" position. Disconnect when not in use.
DO NOT use the unit in an area where flammable gas vapors may
be present. An electric spark could cause an explosion or fire.
DO NOT direct water spray on or into electrical installations of
any kind. This includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes,
transformers, the unit itself, etc. Severe electrical shock may
occur.
John Deere does not recommend the owner attempt any electrical
repairs to this unit.
