IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
• SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION FOR FIRE (CONT.)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Materials placed against or near the pressure washer
can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing
overheating and possible ignition of the materials.
• Mufer exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt
any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic,
rubber, vinyl, or the pressure hose, itself), and damage
live plants.
• Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition.
Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of
children or other unqualied persons.
• Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons,
insecticides, or any kind of ammable solvent with this
product could result in serious injury or death.
DANGER
RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or
death! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas.
• Some cleaning uids contain substances which could
cause injury to skin, eyes or lungs.
• Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry
brush or weeds.
• Always keep pressure washer a minimum of 4´ (1.2m)
away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles or
live plants) that could be damaged from mufer exhaust
heat.
• Store fuel in an OSHA-approved container, in a secure
location away from work area.
• Do not spray ammable liquids.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid
enclosed areas such as garages, basements, etc.
• Never operate unit in a location occupied by humans or
animals.
• Use only cleaning uids specically recommended
for high-pressure washers. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations. Do not use chlorine bleach or any
other corrosive compound.
DANGER
RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Your pressure washer operates at uid pressures
and velocities high enough to penetrate human and
animal esh, which could result in amputation or other
serious injury. Leaks caused by loose ttings or worn
or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO
NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
• Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced
before attempting maintenance or disassembly.
• Inspect the high-pressure hose regularly. Replace the
hose regularly. Replace the hose immediately if it is
damaged, worn, has melted from contacting the engine,
or shows any signs of cracking, bubbles, pinholes, or
other leakage. Never grasp a high-pressure hose that is
leaking or damaged.
• Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole or
similar water leak on the high-pressure hose. The stream
of water IS under high pressure and WILL penetrate skin.
• Never place hands in front of nozzle.
• Direct spray away from self and others.
• Make sure hose and ttings are tightened and in good
condition. Never hold onto the hose or ttings during
operation.
• Do not allow hose to contact mufer.
• Never attach or remove wand or hose ttings while
system is pressurized.
• To relieve system pressure, shut off engine, turn off water
