DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation eliminates the need for a three-wire grounded power cord.
Double insulated products do not need to be grounded because exposed metal
parts are covered in protective insulation that isolates them from internal
metal motor components.
WARNING
A double insulated system is designed to protect against shock caused by a
break in the product’s internal insulation.
To avoid electric shock, follow all ordinary safety procedures.
NOTE: Double insulated products should only be serviced by qualified
service technicians.
For more information, contact Westinghouse customer service toll-free at 1
855-944-3571.
AC MOTOR
The electric motor in this product was designed to work with a nominal
120V/60Hz AC power supply (average U.S. household circuit). It is not intended
to operate on direct current (DC). A significant voltage drop will result in a
loss of power and could damage the motor.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
See Figure 1.
This pressure washer has a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug of the power-supply cord. A GFCI protects against ground fault
currents such as a current that would flow through a person standing on a wet
surface while holding a product with faulty insulation.
GFCI plugs do not protect against shocks, short circuits, and overloads.
If replacement of the plug or cord is necessary, use identical replacement
parts that include GFCI protection.
To test the GFCI:
- Plug the power supply cord into a receptacle.
- Press the TEST button and listen for a “click” indicating that the connection to the power supply was broken.
- Press the RESET button to restore power to the device.
The LED light will turn on when power is restored.
