SafeGuardS, WarninGS & Safety tiPS
• To avoid personal injury and/or damage to
property and to maximize your power washing
experience, carefully follow all of the safety
tips, instructions, warnings and safeguards and
become familiar with all of the controls. Be sure
you know how to quickly bleed off the pressure
from all parts of your power washer, and how to
turn off the power washer .
• This power washer conforms to CSA US and other
safety and consumer standards. Do not modify or
rebuild any part of your power washer.
• Do not use your power washer when you are
under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Use this
power tool carefully and only when you are alert .
• Watch your balance and footing while using
your power washer. Surfaces become slippery
when wet and are extra slippery when using a
detergent or cleaner.
• Never operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• When using the power washer near children
make sure they are closely supervised by an adult
to avoid injury. Never let a child use the power
washer.
• Keep ngers, hands, feet and any part of your
body clear of the stream of high pressure water.
The powerful spray can cause blindness or blast
holes in the skin. It can break a window if you are
too close when you pull the trigger on the spray
gun .
• Always wear eye protection to prevent injury to
eyes when operating the power washer.
• To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the trigger
safety lock when not using the power washer
even if the spraying stops for a moment.
• The power washer is equipped with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly
reduces the chance of electric shock while the
unit is in use.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when
beginning a power washing session.
• When rst using the spray gun, hold the spray
gun and lance with two hands when pulling the
trigger until you get used to the “kick back” from
the spray gun (one hand to pull the trigger and
the other to stabilize the gun assembly).
• When you press the power switch to turn off the
power washer, water pressure may remain in the
system. To discharge the pressure, point the spray
gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger.

• Never spray ammable liquids.
• Never use the power washer in areas that contain
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp
objects and examine the hose regularly. Replace
if damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it
cannot be repaired if cut of damaged.
• Never use a water supply to your power washer
that exceeds 150 psi maximum.
• Never disconnect the high pressure hose
from the power washer while the system is
pressurized.
• Never permanently engage the trigger
mechanisms on the spray gun.
• Only use detergent specically formulated for
power washers and follow instructions on the
detergent’s label. Power washer detergents are
also available at your local hardware store.
• Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to
detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and
will clog the nozzle of your detergent tank.
• IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors to
prevent the water in the unit from expanding
under freezing conditions. When the water
freezes and expands, your power washer will be
damaged and become inoperable. Or, if storing
outdoors, it is recommended you use Pump Saver.
• Never use hot water with your power washer.
It will overheat and damage the high pressure
pump.
• Never leave the power washer unattended while
it is powered “on”.
• Never operate the power washer unless
all components are properly and securely
connected.
• Never allow the power washer pump to run for
more than one minute, after you have turned off
the water supply. This can cause the motor and
pump to overheat and fail.
• Never use lances or other parts that have not
been supplied with your power washer.
• Never use an extension power cord since
it defeats the effectiveness of the GFCI and
increases the chance of electrocuting the
operator.
• Never spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. Do not use
it if it is damaged.
• Always turn the water supply “on ” before turning
the power washer power to “on”. Running the
pump dry will cause damage to the internal
components.
