SafeGuardS, WarninGS and Safety tipS
• 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 .
• This power washer conforms to CSA and
other safety and consumer standards. Do
not modify or rebuild any part of your power
washer.
• Do not use your power washer when you are
under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Use
this power tool carefully and only when you
are alert .
• 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.
• Never operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• 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.
• Keep ngers, 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 .
• Always wear eye protection to prevent injury
to eyes when operating the power washer.
• 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.
• 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.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when
beginning a power washing session.
• When rst 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
• 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.
• Never disconnect the high pressure hose
from the power washer while the system is
pressurized.
• Never permanently engage the trigger
mechanisms on the spray gun.
• Never spray ammable liquids.
• Never use the power washer in areas that
contain combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• 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.
• Only use detergent specically 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.
• Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure
to detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick
and will clog the nozzle of your detergent
tank.
• 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.
• Never use hot water with your power washer.
It will overheat and damage the high pressure
pump.
• Never operate the power washer unless
all components are properly and securely
connected.
• 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.
• Never use lances or other parts that have not
been supplied with your power washer.
• Never use an extension power cord since it
defeats the effectiveness of the GFCI and
increases the chance of electrocuting the
operator.
• Never spray any electrical outlet with your
power washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. Do not
use it if it is damaged.
