spraying stops for a moment.
16. The power washer is equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
which greatly reduces the chance of
electric shock while the unit is in use.
If replacement of the plug or cord is
needed, use only identical replacement
parts.

animal, electrical device or the unit
itself.

get used to the "kickback" from the
