Grounding Instructions 
  5 
 
 
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 electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having 
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet 
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 
 
     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 provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet; have a 
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type adapter with this product. 
 
1. For a product rated 125 volts or less: 
 
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION 
This pressure washer is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (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. 
 
2. For a product rated more than 125 volts:  
 
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION 
To comply with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of 
electric shock, this pressure washer should only be connected to a receptacle that is protected by a ground fault 
circuit interrupter (GFCI). 
 
Extension Cords 
 
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 abuse extension cord 
and do not yank on 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.
