GENERAL SAFETY

1. WARNING – Do not pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. The pump should only be used
with liquids compatible with the pump component materials. Failure to follow this
warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage and will void the product
warranty.

2. Do not run the pump faster than maximum recommended speed.

3. Do not attempt to pump at pressures higher than rated, motor damage may result.

4. Maximum liquid temperature through pump is 140°.

5. Make certain that the power source conforms with the requirements of your equipment
(see cord chart on page 8).

6. Do not operate machine with belt guard, shaft guard or similar safety devices
removed.

7. Prior to servicing, disconnect power, stop engine.

8. Relieve system pressure prior to servicing.

9. Drain all liquids from system before servicing.

10. Secure quick couplers on lines and guns before starting the pump. A loose quick
coupler may cause a hose whip around under pressure causing personal injury and/or
property damage.

11. Check hoses for weak or worn conditions before each use. Make certain that all
connections are tight and secure.

12. Periodically inspect the pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance
as required. See maintenance section in this manual, CAT pump Service Manual and
Honda engine manual as applicable.

13. Electric motors must be adequately grounded.

14. Do not operate a gasoline engine in an enclosed area. Be sure the area is well
ventilated.

15. Gasoline is a highly combustible fuel. The improper use, storage or handling of
gasoline can be dangerous. Never fill or touch a hot engine.

16. Do not handle a pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface.

17. Use only pipe, hose and fittings rated for the maximum P.S.I.G. rating of the pump. If
an unloader is used, use pipe, hose and fittings rated for the pressure at which the
unloader bypass operates.

WASHERS DANGEROUS, SAFETY PANEL WARNS

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning to
consumers who use electrically powered pressure washers for cleaning milk tanks,
spray tanks, and other farm equipment.
According to a federal safety alert, consumers can receive a fatal electrical shock
from pressure washers if the power cord connections become wet or an internal
short exists.
Since pressure washers are used to spray water, the power cord, washer and
consumer are often wet, and this can be fatal, especially if the machine is not
properly grounded, the report explained.
Consumers should not use adaptor plugs to connect the three-wire plug to a two­prong household receptacle without properly grounding the adaptor plug. Power
cord connections should never be allowed to lie in water.
The commission urges these precautions:

- Always plug a three-wire grounded pressure washer into a properly grounded
receptacle. If possible, use a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).

- Check all flexible cords, plugs and sockets before each use. Replace any
damaged items.

- If an extension cord must be used, use the heavy-duty three-wire, properly

grounded type, and keep the power cord connection out of the water and away from

the item being washed.

- Wear eye protection when using sprayers or pressure washers.

- Wear rubber-soled footwear when operating the washer.

- Never cut or splice the power cord or extension cords.

- Do not leave hoses or cords where they can be run over and damaged.

- Never remove the grounding prong from the power cord plug.

- Never operate the washer after it has tripped a ground fault interrupter or circuit
breaker without first having it examined by a competent repair person.

- Never allow children to operate a pressure washer, and keep them away from the
washer when an adult is using it.

- Never spray the cleaner at yourself or others. The pressure can cause the water
and cleaner to blast under the skin.

- Never start the washer until you have checked to make sure all coupler hose
connections are in place and locked.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONSUMERS CAN CALL THE CPSC TOLL-FREE

HOTLINE, 800-638-CPSC.
