Electrical Safety

ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the equipment. This can, in turn, influence 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.)

WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects. If you find 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 qualified 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 filter 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 qualified service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer. Replacement 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 (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – this product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter built into the power cord plug. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. If replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
4. 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.
   • Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by marking “Acceptable for use with the outdoor appliance; store indoors while not in use”. Use only an extension cord having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the extension cord before using it and replace it if damaged. Do not abuse the extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, make sure that you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, power cord receptacle, or power cord plug in any way.
   WARNING Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Heed these warnings:

    

   • Do not allow any part of the electric pressure washer to make contact with water while it is in operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry before starting.
   • Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. The pressure washer comes equipped with a 35 ft power cable. Combined cord length must not exceed 60 ft. Any extension cord must be 14-gauge (or heavier) to safely power the pressure washer.
   • Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots offers some protection.
6. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two cords as shown in Table 1.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the pressure washer by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
