observe these precautions:

• NEVER point the spray gun at people, animals or plants.

• NEVER put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.

skin even if the wound does not appear serious, tell the doctor exactly what fluid was
injected and give him the material safety sheet for the detergent or chemical product
used.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• NEVER attempt any repairs or maintenance with the engine running or the pump and

gun primed.

• NEVER spray flammable liquids, toxic chemicals (such as insecticide or weed killer) as

personal injury or death could result from fire, explosion, or poisoning while damaging
the environment.

• NEVER allow children or untrained adults to operate the machine.

• NEVER wear loose clothing or place hands on engine or pump, keep your body and

clothing clear of moving parts when the machine is running.

• NEVER leave the pressure cleaner unattended once you have started it. If you must

leave, follow complete shutdown instructions to prevent unauthorized and untrained
personnel from operating the machine.

• NEVER move the machine by pulling the hose.

• NEVER put any type of trigger lock onto the gun.

• NEVER exceed the pressure rating of the unit's recommended pressure.

• NEVER change quick couplers with the nozzle under pressure and without the gun safety

in the “on” or “lock” position.

• NEVER run the machine without water, this will damage the pump and void warranty.

Location Warnings

• The machine must be at or near the working area and always under trained operator

supervision.

• The machine should be located as close as possible to the water supply.

• Locate the machine on a solid and level surface so that engine and pump crankcase oil

lubricate components properly. Avoid areas where water can build up in the working
area as possible injury can occur caused by the surface becoming slippery from water
build up.

• Locate the machine in a well ventilated area and away from flammable materials or

fumes. Be sure ventilation WARNINGS are observed. Keep pressure cleaner away from
flammable materials.

• Locate the machine so the operator has easy access to the pressure cleaner and its

controls.

ENGINE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!!! Read engine owners/operators manual before using or attempting to service

this machine. A fire or explosion can occur resulting in personal injury if the following
instructions are not followed:

• DO NOT fill fuel tank while engine is running. Allow engine to cool before refuelling.

• DO NOT operate the engine when an odour of fuel is present, or other explosive

conditions exist.

• IF FUEL IS SPILT, move the machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating

any source of ignition until the fuel has been removed.

• DO NOT store, spill, or use fuel near an open flame or devices such as a stove, furnace,

water heater which utilize a pilot light, or devices which can create a spark.

• RE-FUEL OUTDOORS or in well ventilated area.

• DO NOT operate engine if the air cleaner or cover directly over the carburettor air

intake is removed.

• DO NOT choke the carburettor to stop the engine.

• DO NOT tamper with the governor springs, governor links or other parts which may

increase the governed engine speed.

• DO NOT tamper with the engine speed selected by the original equipment

manufacturer.

speeds increases the danger of personal injury.

• DO NOT touch hot mufflers, cylinders or fins, as contact may cause burns.

PRESSURE PUMP PRECAUTIONS

gun. (This will cause pump damage due to excessive water temperature and void the
warranty)

• NEVER run acid or hard caustics through the pump.

• Never use chemicals or agents which are not compatible with the Buna-N and PVC

(polyvinyl) or neoprene covering of the hose. (Always use citrus based detergents.)
