This pressure washer is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the power supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electrical
shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical
replacement parts that include GFCI protection. See Page 4 for testing procedure.
