IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious
injury and property damage. Read and understand all warnings and
operating instructions before using. Follow maintenance instructions specified in this
manual.
RISK OF
EXPLOSION
OR FIRE
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Do not use acids, gasoline, kerosene,
or any other flammable materials in this
product. Use only household
detergents, cleaners, and degreasers
recommended for use in Pressure
Washers. Work in a well ventilated area.
Use of acids, unapproved chemicals,
or flammable solvents with this
product could cause injury or death.
RISK TO
BREATHING
• Some cleaning fluids contain substances which could cause injury to
skin, eyes, or lungs.
• Use only cleaning fluids specifically
recommended for high pressure
washers. Follow manufacturers
recommendations. Do not use
chlorine bleach or any other
corrosive compound.
RISK TO FLUID
INJECTION
• Your washer operates at fluid
pressures and velocities high enough
to penetrate human and animal flesh,
which could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks caused by
loose fittings or worn or damaged
hoses can result in injection injuries.
DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION
AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician
immediately!
• Never place hands in front of nozzle.
• Do not direct discharge stream at
persons or animals.
• Make sure hose and fittings are
tightened and in good condition.
Never hold onto the hose or fittings
during operation.
• Do not operate pressure washer with
worn or abraded hose.
• Never attach or remove wand or hose
fittings while system is pressurized.
• Injuries can result if system pressure
is not reduced before attempting
maintenance or disassembly.
• To relieve system pressure, place
on/off switch in off position, turn off
water supply, and pull gun trigger
until water stops flowing.
• Use only hose and high pressure
accessories rated for pressure higher
than your pressure washer's p.s.i.
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
• Water spray directed at electrical
outlets or switches, or objects connected to an electrical circuit, could
result in a fatal electrical shock.
• Unplug any electrically operated
product before attempting to clean it.
Direct spray away from electric outlets
and switches.
• This product is powered by
electricity. It contains and sprays
water and other conductive liquids.
Improper operation could result in
electrocution.
• The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) will not function
properly unless connected to a fully
grounded electrical circuit!
• Extension cords can lead to electrical
shock.
• Always connect cordset to a
properly grounded and polarized
electrical circuit. Your cordset is
equipped with a Gr
ound Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) for your personal
protection.
• If damaged, the entire cordset
assembly must be replaced by an
authorized service center. Refer to
Grounding Instructions.
• Do not use with extension cords.
Restricting any of the pressure
washer ventilation openings will
cause serious overheating and could
cause fire.
Never place objects against or on
top of pressure washer. Operate
pressure washer in an open area at
least 12 inches away from any wall
or obstruction that would restrict the
flow of fresh air to the ventilation
openings.

materials in this product. Use only
household detergents, cleaners and
degreasers recommended for use in
pressure washers.
• Wear protective clothing to protect
eyes and skin from contact with
sprayed materials.
• Use of acids, toxic or corrosive
chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or
any kind of flammable solvent with
this product could result in serious
injury or death.
RISK OF
CHEMICAL
BURN
• Reactive force of spray will cause
gun/wand to move, and could
cause the operator to slip or fall, or
misdirect the spray. Improper
control of gun/wand can result in
injuries to self and others.
• Do not overreach or stand on an
unstable support. Grip gun/wand
firmly with both hands. Expect the

propelling particles at high
speed.
• Light or unsecured objects can
become hazardous projectiles.
• Always wear ANSI approved Z87
safety glasses.Wear protective
clothing to protect against accidental
spraying.

D27665
The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing
damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping
and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to
be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the
spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like
concrete and steel.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connection
of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in
risk of electrocution. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product-if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of
adapter with this product.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use additional length of high pressure
hose instead of extension cords to
avoid voltage drop and power loss to
the motor, and to prevent overheating.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.
NOTE: The use of additional length of
high pressure hose will lower the
pressure washer's PSI below 1600.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This pressure washer is provided with
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
built into the plug of the power supply
cord. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric
shock. Should replacement of the plug
or cord become necessary, use only
identical replacement parts that
include GFCI protection.
