Safeguards, Warnings and Safety Tips
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.WARNING—When using this product basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
2.Read all the instructions before using the product.
3.Know how to stop the product and bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
4.Keep operating area clear of all persons.
5.Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep good footing and balance at all times.
6.Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the manual.
7.To avoid personal injury and/or damage to property and to maximize your power washing experience, carefully follow all of the safety tips, instructions, warnings and safeguards and become familiar with all of the controls. Be sure you know how to quickly bleed off the pressure from all parts of your power washer, and how to turn off the power washer.
8.This power washer conforms to CSA and other safety and consumer standards. Do not modify or rebuild any part of your power washer.
9.Do not use your power washer when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Use this power tool carefully and only when you are alert .
10.Watch your balance and footing while using your power washer. Surfaces become slippery when wet and are extra slippery when using a detergent or
cleaner.
11.Never operate the power washer in bare feet, sandals, or open-toed shoes.
12.When using the power washer near children make sure they are closely supervised by an adult to avoid injury. Never let a child use the power washer.
13.Keep fingers, hands, feet and any part of your body clear of the stream of high pressure water. The powerful spray can cause blindness or blast holes in the skin. It can break a window if you are too close when you pull the trigger on the spray gun .
14.Always wear eye protection to prevent injury to eyes when operating the power washer.
15.To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the trigger safety lock when not using the power washer even if the spraying stops for a moment.
16.The power washer is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly reduces the chance of electric shock while the unit is in use.
If Replacement Of The Plug Or Cord Is Needed, Use Only Identical Replacement Parts.
17.Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning a power washing session.
18.When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun and lance with two hands when pulling the trigger until you get used to the “kick back” from the spray gun (one hand to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize the gun assembly).
5
19.When you press the power switch to turn off the power washer, water pressure may remain in the system. To discharge the pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger.
20.Never spray flammable liquids.
21.Never use the power washer in areas that contain combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
22.Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp objects and examine the hose regularly. Replace if damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it cannot be repaired if cut of damaged.
23.Only use detergent specifically formulated
for power washers and follow instructions on the detergent’s label. We have a selection of power washer detergents to choose from. Go to www. arblueclean.com for more information and to order the detergents. Power washer detergents are also available at your local hardware store.
24.Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and will clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
25.IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from expanding
under freezing conditions. When the water freezes and expands, your power washer will be damaged and become inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is recommended you use Pump Saver. Pump Saver can be purchased on our website: www.arblueclean. com. See details in the Pump Saver section of this manual.
26.Never use hot water with your power washer. It will overheat and damage the high pressure pump.
27.Never leave the power washer unattended while it is powered “on”.
28.Always turn the water supply “on ” before turning the power washer power to “on”. Running the pump dry will cause damage to the internal components.
29.Never use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 psi maximum.
30.Never disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while the system is pressurized.
31.Never permanently engage the trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
32.Never operate the power washer unless all components are properly and securely connected.
33.Never allow the power washer pump to run for more than one minute, after you have turned off the water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to overheat and fail.
34.Never use lances or other parts that have not been supplied with your power washer.
35.Never use an extension power cord since it defeats the effectiveness of the
36.GFCI and increases the chance of electrocuting the operator.
37.Never spray any electrical outlet with your power washer.
38.Inspect the power cord before using. Do not use it if it is damaged.

Servicing of a Double-Insulated Appliance
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) built into the plugs of the power-supply cord. This device provides additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. Grounding means are not provided for a doubleinsulated product, nor should grounding means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should only be done by quailed service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the original parts. A doubleinsulated product is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated”. Product may also be marked with symbol shown here.
