RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Your pressure 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!
• Inspect the high-pressure hose
regularly. Replace the hose
immediately if it is damaged,
worn, has melted from contacting
the engine, or shows any signs
of cracks, bubbles, pinholes, or
other leakage. Never grasp a highpressure 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 noz zle.
• Direct spray away from self and
others.
• Make sure hose and fit tings are
tightened and in good condition.
Never hold onto the hose or fittings
during op er a tion.
• Do not allow hose to contact muf fler.
• Never attach or remove wand
or hose fittings while sys tem is
pressurized.
• Injuries can result if system pressure
is not reduced before attempting
maintenance or disassembly.
• To relieve sys tem pres sure, shut off
engine, turn off water sup ply and
pull gun trigger until water stops
flowing.
• Use only hoses and accessories
rated for pressure higher than your
pressure washer's PSI.
RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• High-velocity fluid spray can cause
objects to break, propelling particles
at high speed.
• Light or unsecured objects can
become hazardous projectiles.
• Always wear ANSI-approved Z87.1
safety glasses. Wear protective
clothing to protect against
accidental spraying.
• Never point wand at or spray people
or animals.
• Always secure trigger lock when
wand is not in service to prevent
accidental operation.
• Never permanently secure trigger in
pull-back (open) position.

RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Unsafe op er a tion of your pressure
wash er could lead to se ri ous in ju ry
or death to you or others.
• Do not use chlorine bleach or any
other corrosive compound.
• Be come fa mil iar with the op er a tion
and con trols of the pressure washer.
• Keep operating area clear of all
persons, pets and obstacles.
• Do not operate the product when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Stay alert at all
times.
• Never defeat the safety fea tures of
this prod uct.
• Do not op er ate machine with
missing, broken or un au tho rized
parts.
• Never leave wand unattended while
unit is running.
• If proper starting procedure is not
followed, engine can kickback
causing serious hand and arm injury.
• If engine does not start after two
pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to
relieve pump pressure. Pull starter
cord slowly until resistance is felt.
Then pull cord rapidly to avoid
kickback and prevent hand or arm
injury.

RISK OF INJURY OR PROP ER TY DAMAGE WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR STORING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing hazard. Se rious in ju ry or death can re sult. Fuel or
oil leaks will dam age carpet, paint or
oth er surfaces in ve hi cles or trailers.
• If pressure washer is equipped with
a fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve to
the OFF position before transporting
to avoid fuel leaks. If pres sure wash er
is not equipped with a fuel shut-off
valve, drain the fuel from tank before
trans port ing. Only trans port fuel in an
OSHA-approved container. Al ways
place pressure washer on a protective
mat when transporting to protect
against dam age to vehicle from
leaks. Re move pres sure washer from
vehicle immediately upon arrival at
your destination.
RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
• High-velocity fluid spray directed at
pneumatic tire sidewalls (such as
found on automobiles, trailers and
the like) could damage the sidewall
resulting in serious injury.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate tires
can fill small tires similar to these very
rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on
air supply to no more than the rating
of the tire pressure. Add air in small
increments and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over inflation.
• On pressure washers rated above
1600 PSI (110 Bar) use the wid-
est fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep
the spray a minimum of 8" (20 cm)
from the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do
not aim spray directly at the joint
between the tire and rim.
RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Con tact with hot sur fac es, such as
engines exhaust com po nents, could
result in se ri ous burn.
• During op er a tion, touch only the
control surfaces of the pres sure
washer. Keep children away from
the pres sure washer at all times.
They may not be able to recognize

injury or death.
• Do not use ac ids, gasoline, kero sene, or any other flammable
materials in this product. Use only
household de ter gents, cleaners and
degreasers recommended for use in

• Wear pro tec tive clothing to protect
eyes and skin from con tact with
sprayed materials.
RISK OF
ELEC TRI CAL SHOCK

gallons of water pumped 1 gallon
of chemical/cleaning solution will
be used.
3. Select the soap nozzle on the
Gatling spray wand, see To Use
Gatling Spray Wand paragraph in
this section.
4. After use of chemicals, place
chemical hose into container of
clean water and draw clean water
through chemical injection system
to rinse system thoroughly. If
chemicals remain in the pump
it could be damaged. Pumps
damaged due to chemicals will
not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not
siphon when spray wand is in the high
pressure setting.
STARTING
Prior to starting, refer to your engine
manual for proper starting procedure.
1. In a well ventilated outdoor

or work near open fl ames while
performing maintenance.
To ensure effi cient operation and
longer life of your pressure washer, a
routine maintenance schedule should
be prepared and followed. If the
pressure washer is used in unusual
conditions, such as high-temperatures
or dusty conditions, more fre quent
maintenance checks will be required.

NOZZLE CLEANING
If the nozzle becomes clogged
with foreign materials, such as dirt,
excessive pressure may develop. If
the nozzle becomes partially clogged
or restricted, the pump pressure will
pulsate. Clean the nozzle immediately
using the nozzle kit supplied and the
following instructions:
1. Shut off the pressure washer and
turn off the water supply.
2. Pull trigger on gun handle to
relieve any water pressure.
3. Disconnect the spray wand from
the gun.

ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners Manual for
the man u fac tur er's recommendations
for storage.
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using
a pump protector/winterizer, such as
DP80 when storing the unit for more
than 30 days and/or when freezing
temperatures are expected. DP80
is availabe at the store where the
pressure washer was purchased. If
a pump protector/winterizer is not
available, RV antifreeze needs to be
run through the pump as outlined in the
steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/
winterizer or RV antifreeze is to
provide proper lubrication to the
internal seals of the pump regardless
of temperature or environment.
1. Obtain a funnel, 6 oz. (170 mL)
of RV antifreeze and 16–36" (40–
91cm) of garden hose with a male
hose connector attached to one
end.
Risk of property
damage. Use only
