10 Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI)

NOTICE

Running the pressure washer without water will cause the

pump to overheat, which may result in permanent damage.

Always connect and turn on the water supply to the pump

before starting the motor. Do not operate the pressure

washer without water.

Disconnecting the Water Hose

To disconnect the water hose:

► Switch off the pressure washer, @ 11.2.

► Disconnect the pressure washer from the power supply.

► Shut off the water supply.

► Pull the spray gun trigger to relieve pressure.

► Lock the spray gun trigger.

► Remove the water hose (1).

► Unscrew the coupling (2).

10.1 Testing the Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrocution, always test the GFCI

each time you plug in your unit and before you start work.

The pressure washer has an electrical protection

mechanism. The ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) is an

important safety device that is intended to protect the

operator and bystanders from the risk of electric shock or

electrocution. It is designed to quickly and automatically

disconnect a circuit when it detects that the electric current

is not balanced.

A GFCI does not provide protection against unexpected or

dangerously high current, therefore it cannot replace a fuse

or protect against overheating or fire risk due to over-current

(overload) or short circuits if the fault does not lead to

current leakage.

To test the ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI):

► Connect the power supply cord to a properly installed

electrical outlet that matches the voltage and electrical

frequency stated on the pressure washer's rating plate.

The indicator LED (2) on the GFCI should be ON.

► Depress the TEST button (1).

The LED (2) should shut OFF.

► If the LED does not shut OFF after depressing the TEST

button, the GFCI is not working. Disconnect the pressure

washer from the power supply and have it inspected by an

authorized STIHL servicing dealer before further use.

► Before starting work, always reset the GFCI as described

in chapter @ 10.2.
