• Do not direct the jet at yourself or others in order to clean
clothes or footwear.
• Risk of explosion – Do not spray ammable liquids.
• Disconnect the tool – Disconnect from the electrical power
supply before performing any maintenance task.
• Keep children away – This high-pressure electric
power washer must not be used by children or untrained
personnel.
• To ensure appliance safety, use only original replacement
parts from the manufacturer or those approved by the
manufacturer.
mWARNING! Water that has owed through backow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
mWARNING! During cleaning, maintenance, or when
replacing parts, disconnect the machine from its power source
by removing the plug from the socket outlet.
mWARNING! High-pressure hoses, ttings, and
couplings are important for the safe operation of the appliance.
Use only hoses, ttings, and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Check for damaged parts – Do not use the appliance if
the supply cord or other important parts of the appliance
are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses,
trigger gun).
mWARNING! If an extension cord is used, the plug and
socket must be of watertight construction.
NOTE: It is not recommended to use an extension cord with
this pressure washer.
mWARNING! Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous.
• This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used
at temperatures below 32ºF (0°C).
mWARNING! Power cords on drums should always be
completely unwound to prevent the cord from overheating.
• Power cord connections should be kept dry and o the
ground.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not use the appliance.

• Keep the machine on a stable, at surface during operation,
handling, transportation, and storage. Sudden overturn of
the machine can cause bodily injury.
• In the event of an accident or breakdown, switch o the
machine immediately. (If contact with detergent occurs,
rinse with an abundance of clean water.)
Electrical Safety
ATTENTION: If there are problems with the electrical
MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the
equipment. This can, in turn, inuence 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.)
mWARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects.
If you nd any, do not start up your machine. Contact your

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
qualied 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 lter 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 qualied 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 – A
GFCI should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for this pressure washer. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
