This pressure washer MUST be fully assembled by you prior
to use. Failure to do so will result in the warranty being
VOID. Failure to fully assemble this pressure washer may
also result in personal injury.

SAFETY

Before attempting to operate this pressure washer the
following basic safety precautions should be taken to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
It is important to read the instruction manual and to
understand applications, limitations and potential hazards
associated with this pressure washer. It is important that
you read, understand and follow these instructions very
carefully. This pressure washer is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

BEWARE OF CHILDREN & PETS

Children and pets should be kept out of the operating
area. Children should not be allowed to touch or operate
pressure washers. All pressure washers should be kept out
of reach of children. When NOT in use keep the pressure
washer preferably stored or locked in a secure well
ventilated cabinet or room with the fuel tank empty.

Fuel used in this pressure washer is poisonous. Always
wear approved breathing protection when decanting
fuel. If you get any fuel on your skin or clothes wash the
affected area immediately with soap and water and change
your clothes. If you get fuel in your eyes wash immediately
with clean water and seek medical attention. If any fuel
is swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, seek immediate
medical attention.

benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should
be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should
be taken when the floor is slippery due to water. Always
leave sufficient distance, at least 1 metre between the
pressure washer and flammable materials. As this pressure
washer uses a petrol engine, only run the pressure washer
outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

ALWAYS use your pressure washer in an open well
ventilated area. Do not expose your pressure washer
to rain. Do not expose your pressure washer to direct
sunlight. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use your
pressure washer in areas where there is a risk of explosion
or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids,
paint, varnish, petrol, etc flammable gases and dust of an

you consult an expert on selecting and using a suitable fire
extinguisher and have it available for use in an emergency
when operating the pressure washer.

SELECT A PRESSURE WASHER WITH A
SUFFICIENT RATING

Select the right pressure washer for the job. Do not use a
pressure washer to do a job for which it was not designed.
Do not force a small pressure washer to do the job of
a heavy duty pressure washer. Any damage caused by
overloading will void the warranty. Do not use pressure
washers for purposes not intended.

HOT COMPONENTS

Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as
these may burn. In particular ensure that the high pressure
hose does not touch the hot muffler during use or when
storing as it will damage the high pressure hose and this
will not be covered under warranty.

MAINTAIN YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
WITH CARE

When not using your pressure washer ensure the fuel tap
is ‘OFF’. Never leave the fuel tap ‘ON’ as this can damage
the carburettor. Follow the instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept
clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked ventilation
slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.

times.

Ensure that the pressure washer has stopped and is turned
off when not in use, before servicing, lubricating, making
adjustments or when changing any accessories.

while it is still running. As a precaution, it is recommended
that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a
suitable fire extinguisher.

RISK OF DAMAGE

Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to appliance
or surface being cleaned. Always trial test the pressure
washer on an inconspicuous part of the appliance or
surface. Beware poor paint and rust as the water will lift
poor paint and cause rust spots to grow. Damage caused
by pressure washer is not covered by warranty.

checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.

Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced

washer that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service facility unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.
