must not be directed at person or anything that they are wearing.
17. NEVER direct the jet at electrical equipment or the machine itself.
18. WARNING High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of
the machine. Use only hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
19. WARNING Water that has flowed through a system separator (also known as a
