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.

•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.
•

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 bottle.

•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 leave the power washer unattended while it is powered “on”.
•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.
•Never use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 psi maximum.
•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 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.
