WARNING
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea,
fainting or death.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled
or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if
windows and doors are open.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may
be inhaled.
• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will
provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.
WARNING
Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to
reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a
ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.

safety
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
When Starting Equipment
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
When Operating Equipment
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.
When Transporting or Repairing Equipment
• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF.
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
When Storing Fuel or Equipment with Fuel in Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or
other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because
they can ignite fuel vapors.
WARNING
Risk of electrocution.
Contact with power source can cause electric shock
or burn.
• NEVER spray near power source.

safety
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in
bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could
result.
• NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point
spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARNING
Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures
or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.

safety
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric
shock.
When Adjusting or Making Repairs to Your Pressure Washer
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the
wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
When Testing for Engine Spark
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine
is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause
injury.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any kind. Replace
o-ring or seal.

system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.
• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants.
• DO NOT secure spray gun in open position.
• DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is running.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trigger
guard in place and in working order.
