■ Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of
at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
■ Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil or grease.
■ Never direct a water stream toward people or pets, or any electrical device.
■ Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors and windows. Clear the area to be cleaned
of debris, toys, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could create a hazard.
■ do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable material, bleaches, or industrial grade
solutions in this product. These products can cause physical injuries to the operator and
irreversible damage to the machine.
