WARNING
Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in
the multiple ignition sources or engine/burner exhaust.
Injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling.
Serious injury or death may occur from the battery.
• Always operate pressure washer in a well ventilated area free of
flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible
materials.
• Do not store the pressure washer near an open flame or any
equipment such as a stove, furnace, water heater, etc., which utilizes
a pilot light or sparking device.
• Do not use this pressure washer to spray flammable material!
• Do not smoke while filling burner fuel tank.
• Never fill the fuel tanks while the pressure washer is running or hot.
Allow to cool two minutes before refueling.
• Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may
cause a risk of fire.
• Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
• Engine Fuel Tank: If using a Gasoline Engine, refuel with gasoline only.
Do not use diesel or fuel oil.
• Diesel Fuel Tank: If using a Diesel Engine, refuel with diesel only. Do
not use gasoline.
• Burner Fuel Tank (Black): When refueling the Burner Fuel Tank, use
No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil/diesel or kerosene. Do not use gasoline.
• Do not operate the unit if gasoline or diesel fuel is spilled. Wipe the
pressure washer clean and move it away from the spill. Avoid creating
any ignition until the gasoline or diesel fuel has evaporated.
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases in
the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open sparks and flames
away from the battery at all times, especially when charging the
battery.
• Be certain to disconnect the battery ground terminal before servicing.
When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with the
negative terminal, and when connecting them, start with the positive
cable.
• When charging the battery, remove the battery vent plugs.
• Use only a voltmeter or hydrometer to check a battery charge.
• DO NOT jump start the battery unless both batteries are of equal
voltage and amperage.

safety
WARNING
Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling engine/
burner exhaust or dangerous vapors. The engine
exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm.
• Never operate this pressure washer in an enclosed area. Always make
certain there is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air) for breathing
and combustion. This will prevent the buildup of dangerous carbon
monoxide gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas, or areas with
exhaust fans which can cause poor air exchange.
• Follow all safety instructions provided with the materials you are
spraying. Use of a respirator may be required when working with
some materials. Do not use this pressure washer to dispense
hazardous detergents.
WARNING
Serious injury or death may occur from a ground fire
caused by a muffler spark.
Serious injury or death may occur if system safety’s are
not properly maintained.
• A spark arrester must be added to the muffler of this engine when
using on land covered with any flammable agricultural crop (hay and
grain), and if they are used in or near brush or forested areas. The
arrester must be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
In the state of California, the above is required by law. (Section 4442
and 4443 of the California Public Resources Code.) Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on Federal lands.
• This pressure washer has a Safety Relief Valve which should never
be altered, modified, removed or made inoperative. If the device fails,
replace immediately with genuine manufacturer replacement part.

WARNING
Serious injury or death could occur from high pressure
spray penetrating the skin.
• Keep clear of nozzle and spray! Never put your hand, fingers or body
directly over the spray nozzle.
• Do not direct discharge stream at persons or self.
• This product is to be used only by trained operators.
• Always keep operating area clear of all persons.
• DO NOT allow children to operate this unit!
• SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE if the spray appears to have
penetrated the skin! DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT!!
• High pressure hoses and fuel lines should be inspected daily for signs
of wear. If evidence of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect
hoses and fuel lines to prevent the possibility of injury from the high
pressure spray. If a hose or fitting is leaking, NEVER PLACE YOUR
HAND DIRECTLY ON THE LEAK.
• NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open position.
To prevent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be securely
locked when not in use.
• Before removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut
off the unit and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure. (Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump,
hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun.)
WARNING
Serious injury or death may occur from contact with
electricity.
• DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind!
This includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers,
the unit itself, etc.
• DO NOT allow metal components of the pressure washer to come in
contact with live electrical components.

safety
WARNING
Serious injury may occur to the operator from moving
parts on the pressure washer.
• Before making any adjustments, be certain the engine is turned off
and the ignition cable(s) is removed from the spark plug(s). Turning
the machinery over by hand during adjustment or cleaning might start
the engine and machinery with it.
• Do not operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
WARNING
Serious injury may occur from touching the gasoline
engine, muffler or heat exchanger. These areas can
remain hot for some time after the pressure washer is
shutdown.
• Never allow any part of your body to contact the gasoline engine,
muffler or heat exchanger.
WARNING
Serious injury may occur from a pressure washer
malfunction or exploding accessories if incorrect
system components, attachments or accessories are
used.
Serious injury or death may occur if attempting to start
the pressure washer when the pumping system is
frozen.
• Never make adjustments to the factory set pressures.
• Never exceed manufacturers maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments.
• Do not allow any hoses to make contact with heat exchanger to
prevent the possibility of bursting. Avoid dragging the hoses over
abrasive surfaces such as cement.
• Use only manufacturer recommended repair parts for your pressure
washer.
• In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to
ensure there is no ice formation in the pump. Do not start the pressure
washer if it has been transported in an open or under heated vehicle
without first allowing the pump to thaw.
