•Wear safety goggles.
•Do not use acids, solvents, or any other flammable material in this product. These products can cause physical injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the machine. If you have further questions regarding the use of recommended cleaning detergent, please call your Cub Cadet dealer.
•The machine has hot surfaces which can cause burns. Operate the unit in a safe environment and away from children.

•Water hose must be at least 3/4 inch in diameter.
•Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute).
•Flow rate can be determined by running the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon container.

We strongly recommend that this high pressure washer not be left running for periods of 5 minutes or longer without the trigger gun being engaged.
This high pressure washer is equipped with thermal protection to extend the life of your pressure washer. The thermal protector will automatically activate at a predetermined temperature ejecting hot water before resetting. This ensures that the pump does not become damaged.
