operating.
WARNING: Risk of explosion —
Do not spray flammable liquids.
4. Do not place machine near flammable objects as
the engine is hot.
5. Allow engine to cool for 2 minutes before refueling. If
any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
testing the spark plug or starting the engine. (Fire
and/or explosion may occur if this is not done.)
When refueling gasoline engines on mobile or portable equipment, make sure to refuel:
a. outdoors;
b. with the engine on the equipment stopped;
c. with no source of ignition within 10 feet of the
dispensing point; and
d. with an allowance made for expansion of the fuel
should the equipment be exposed to a higher
ambient temperature.
In an overfilling situation, additional precautions are
necessary to ensure that the situation is handled in
a safe manner.
WARNING: High pressure stream
of water that this equipment can
produce can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

INSTALLATION
Place machine in a convenient location providing ample
support, drainage and room for maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment
will assure more satisfactory performance, longer
service life, and lower maintenance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a backflow preventer on the
water supply hose is recommended and may be required by local code.
Location:
The location should protect the machine from damaging environmental conditions, such as wind, rain, and
freezing.
This machine should be run on a level surface where it
is not readily influenced by outside sources such as
strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain, etc. It should
be located to allow accessibility for refilling of fuel, adjustments and maintenance. Normal precautions should
be taken by the operator of the machine to prevent moisture from reaching the electrical controls.
It is recommended that a partition be made between the
wash area and the machine to prevent water spray from
coming in contact with the machine. Excess moisture
reaching any electrical components or electrical controls
will reduce machine life and may cause electrical shorts.
Avoid small locations or areas near exhaust fans.
In addition, the pressure washer should never be operated in an enclosed area where high ambient temperatures exist. High ambient temperatures (above 100°F)
can cause engine oil failure and will greatly reduce the
engine's performance.
