WARNING – PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a pressure washer.
Do not use a pressure washer while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating a pressure
washer may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Do not use the product if the engine’s switch does
not turn it on or off. Any gasoline powered product
that cannot be controlled with the engine switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
starting the pressure washer. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the pressure washer
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Do not operate the product while
barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar
lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that
will protect your feet and improve your footing on
slippery surfaces. Do not stand on the product.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the product in unexpected
situations.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s
switch is off before transporting the product or
performing any maintenance or service on the unit.
Transporting or performing maintenance or service
on a product with its switch on invites accidents.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can get caught in moving parts.
• Do not place your hands or feet near moving parts.
• Do not use while on a ladder.

WARNING – INADEQUATE
VENTILATION
• Materials placed against or near the product,
or operating the product in areas where the
ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F)
(such as storage rooms or garages) can
interfere with its proper ventilation features,
causing overheating and possible ignition of
the materials or buildings.
• Operate the product in a clean, dry, and
well-ventilated area at least 2 m away from
any buildings, objects, or walls.
• NEVER OPERATE THIS PRODUCT
INDOORS OR IN POORLY VENTILATED
AREAS.
DANGER – WORK AREA SAFETY
AND EXHAUST FUMES
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
• Operate the product in a clean, dry and
well-ventilated area.
• Do not operate the product in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Never operate the product on a steep slope.
• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away
from the operating area. Breathing exhaust
fumes can cause serious injury or even death.
• Never start or run the engine indoors. The
exhaust fumes are dangerous, containing
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly
gas. Operate this product only in a
well-ventilated outdoor area

CAUTION – ENGINE SAFETY
• Certain components in this product and its related
accessories contain chemicals which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
• The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals which are known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• This engine was shipped without oil. Before you
start the engine, make sure you add oil according to
the instructions in this manual. If you start the
engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair
and will not be covered under the warranty.
• When starting engine ensure that spark plug,
muffler, fuel cap and air filter are in place and
secured.
• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
• If engine floods, move the throttle control to fast
position and crank until engine starts.
• When operating the engine do not tip engine or
equipment at an angle that will cause fuel to spill.
• Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly or the air filter removed.
• Transport or move the product only with empty fuel
tank.
• Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull
hand and arm towards engine faster than you can
let go. Risk of injury – broken bones, fractures,
bruises, or sprains could result.
• Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease, or carbon build-up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
• Do not tamper with any part of the engine to
increase its speed.
• If the product makes an unusual noise or vibration,
immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual
noise or vibration is generally a sign of a problem.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
MATERIALS
• Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapours can
explode if ignited. Take precautions when using fuel
to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
• When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an
approved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Do not smoke or allow sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition near the area while adding
fuel or operating the product. Never fill fuel tank
indoors.
• Equip the operating area with a fire extinguisher
certified to handle gasoline or fuel fires.
• Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These
events could ignite fumes or vapours.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot. Do not operate the product with
known leaks in the fuel system.
• Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
• Replace fuel tank and container caps securely and
wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the product
without both caps securely in place.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If
fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine near
spill. Move the product away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
• Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition.
• Never store fuel or product with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark,
open flame, or any other source of ignition, such as
a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or the like.
Allow the engine to cool before storing indoors.

but not limited to spray guns, hose, and hose
connections).
CAUTION – SPECIFIC SAFETY
ADVICE
• Avoid dangerous conditions. Always operate this
product on dry, solid and level ground.
• Never operate this product on slippery, wet,
muddy, or icy surfaces. The operating area should

expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes
from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a
potential hazard.
• Inspect this product. Check before turning it on.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool area before turning
it on.
• Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before
using it. Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic
fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.

• Risk of injury!
Do not direct the discharge
stream at people. The high-pressure jet can
be dangerous if misused, and therefore must
not be directed at people, animals, electrical
devices or the unit itself.
• Risk of explosion!

sprayed, there can be danger of fire or explosion,
especially in a closed area. Therefore, do not spray
flammable liquids. Do not use acids and solvents
with this product either. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and irreversible
damage to the product.
