Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190418-A480B-2147381497. Matched catalog product: SunJoe SUNJOE 4 in1 14amp Electric Blower Vacuum Mulcher. Source model text: SPX4000 Electric Pressure Washer. Incident: On page 14 (under "Troubleshooting") of the Operators Manual for the SunJoe SPX4000 Electric Pressure Washer, it recommends that if a 'fuse' blows when using this device, the owner should replace the 'fuse' with one of a higher amp rating. If an owner does this it could easily result in overheating of the electrical wiring due to the new 'fuse' allowing more current to pass than the wiring was originally designed for. With enough of a current draw, this could create a fire at some point in the circuit, causing severe damage or even a life threatening situation.
