IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

FIRE & VENTILATION PRECAUTIONS:

1. This unit was designed for outdoor use only. NEVER operate this unit in an
enclosed area. ALWAYS make certain there is adequate air (oxygen) for
combustion as well as ventilation to prevent the presence of poisonous carbon
monoxide gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas or exhaust fans which
can cause inadequate combustion or engine overheating.

2. NEVER operate this unit in the presence of flammable vapors or combustible
dust, gases or other combustible materials. (A spark may cause an explosion
or fire.) When servicing this machine, be especially careful to properly dispose
of any flammable materials. DO NOT spray flammable liquids.

3. ENGINE FUEL TANK:
a. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE FILLING ENGINE FUEL TANK
b. NEVER fill the engine fuel tank while the unit is running or hot. Allow the

engine to cool two minutes before refueling.
c. DO NOT refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
d. ALWAYS refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may

cause a risk of fire.

4. DO NOT operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe unit clean and move the
unit away from the spill. Avoid creating any ignition until the gasoline has
evaporated.

5. DO NOT store the unit near an open flame or any equipment such as a stove,
furnace, water heater, etc., which utilizes a pilot light or devices which can
create a spark.

IMPORTANT

The following is required by California State law, Section 4442 of the California

Public Resources Code. Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on federal lands.

A spark arrester must be added to the muffler of this engine if it is
to be used on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered
unimproved land. The arrester must be maintained in effective
working order by the operator.

See your engine or equipment dealer for spark arrester muffler options.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

SPRAY PRECAUTIONS:

DANGER

RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY!

KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE!

DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS!

ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT. WHEN

OPERATING THIS UNIT, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE

OBSERVED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:
a. Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can

penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

b. Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand,

fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle. Always keep operating
area clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near
children.

c. If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated the

skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS A
SIMPLE CUT. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell a
physician exactly what kind.

PIC-WAND.TIF/D1

2. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the eyes
from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such as rubber
suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using cleaning
detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.

3. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the
water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the
operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on
unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear
and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun
while on a ladder or roof.

5. Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials such
as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.

6. ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and operating
the unit. Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip dangerously.
NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open position. To
prevent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be securely locked when
not in use.

7. DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind! This
includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, etc. Severe
electrical shock may occur.

ANSIATTI.TIF/D5

PIC-LADD.TIF/D1

PIC-GUN.TIF/D1

8. Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump,
hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun. Before removing the
spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit and trigger the
gun to release trapped pressure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

DETERGENT CLEANING PRECAUTIONS:

1. DO NOT use solvents or highly corrosive detergents or acid type cleaners
with this pressure washer. Use only mild detergents.

2. KNOW YOUR DETERGENTS! Be prepared to tell a physician exactly what
you are using in the event of an emergency. Read the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) provided with your detergent and all detergent labels. Follow
all appropriate instructions regarding preparation use, safety and transportation.
Keep ALL detergents out of the reach of children.

3. DO NOT use this pressure washer to dispense hazardous detergents.

4. DO NOT alter the detergent injection feature in any manner not prescribed in
this manual. Use only genuine Nilfisk-Advance® replacement parts for
necessary repairs.

MISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR ADOLESCENTS TO OPERATE THIS UNIT!

2. Read and follow all handling, operations, maintenance and safety instructions
listed in this manual and the Engine Operator's manual that accompanies
this unit, and provide such information to ANYONE who will be operating this
unit.

PIC-BOOK.TIF/D1

PIC-HOT.TIF/D1

3. In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to ensure
there is no ice formation in the pump. DO NOT start this unit if it has been
transported in an open or underheated vehicle without first allowing the pump
to thaw.

4. When connecting the water inlet to the water supply mains, local regulations
of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit must not
be connected directly to the public drinking water supply. This is to ensure
that there is no feedback of the detergents into the water supply. (Direct
connection is permitted if a back flow preventer is installed.)

5. DO NOT allow any part of your body or the high pressure hose to make
contact with the muffler. Avoid dragging the hose over an abrasive surface
such as cement. This causes wear and eventual rupturing.

6. High pressure hoses should be inspected daily for signs of wear. If evidence
of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses to prevent the possibility
of injury from the high pressure spray. If a hose or fitting is leaking , NEVER
place your hand directly on the leak.

7. DO NOT operate the unit without all protective covers in place.

8. NEVER run the unit with the governor disconnected or operate at excessive
speeds.

9. To reduce the risk of injury, maintain a safe distance for persons while operating
this unit. Close supervision is necessary when operating the unit near children.

10. DO NOT leave pressurized unit unattended. Shut off the unit and release
trapped pressure before leaving.

11. DO NOT move the unit by pulling on the hose.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

ADJUSTMENT PRECAUTIONS:

1. NEVER alter or modify the equipment, be sure any accessory items and
system components being used will withstand the pressure developed.
Use ONLY genuine Nilfisk-Advance

®

parts for repair of your pressure washer.
Failure to do so can cause hazardous operating conditions and will void
warranty.

2. NEVER make adjustments to the machinery while it is connected to the
engine without first removing the ignition cable from spark plug. Turning
the machinery over by hand during adjustment or cleaning might start the
engine and machinery with it, causing serious injury to the operator.

3. Know how to stop the pressure washer and bleed pressures quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with controls.

4. Before servicing the unit; turn the unit off, relieve the water pressure, and
allow the unit to cool down. Do not make repairs while unit is running.
Service in a clean, dry, flat area. Block the wheels to prevent the unit from
moving.

5. Follow the maintenance instructions specified in this manual.
