WARNING

Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors. Keep exhaust gasfl*omentering aconfined area through

windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings. DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or

enclosure, even if doors or windows are open.

The pressure washer must be at least 5 ft. (I 52 cm) from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around pressure washer including overhead, for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.

Place pressure washer in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place

pressure washer where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied

building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that

can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 7). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken

into consideration when positioning pressure washer.

capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than

3.2 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose.

2. Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected to spray gun and pump. See"Preparing Pressure Washer

for Use" for illustrations.

3. Make sure unit is in a level position.

4. Connect garden hose to water inlet on pressure washer pump. Turn ON water.

CAUTION

* Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instruction will void warranty.
