RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR STORING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could result
in fi re or breathing hazard. Serious injury or
death can result. Fuel or oil leaks will damage
carpet, paint, or other surfaces in vehicles or
trailers. If the pressure washer is equipped with a fuel
shut-off valve, turn the valve to the OFF posi-
tion before transporting to avoid fuel leaks. If
the pressure washer is not equipped with a
fuel shut-off valve, drain the fuel from the tank
before transporting. Only transport fuel in an
OSHA-approved container. Always place pres-
sure washer on a protective mat when trans-
porting to protect against damage to vehicle
from leaks. Remove pressure washer from
vehicle immediately upon arrival at your desti-
nation. • •
RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Over infl ation of tires could result in serious
injury and property damage. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires
pressure before each use and while infl ating
tires
See the tire sidewall for the correct tire pres-
sure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors, and similar
equipment used to infl ate tires can fi ll small
tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust pres-
sure regulator on air supply to no more than
the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small
increments and frequently use the tire gauge to
prevent over infl ation. • •
RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Contact with hot surfaces, such as engine
exhaust components, could result in serious
injury. During operation, touch only the control sur-
faces of the pressure washer. Keep children
away from the pressure washer at all times.
They may not be able to recognize the hazards
of this product. • •
High velocity fl uid spray directed at pneumatic
tire sidewalls (such as found on automobiles,
trailers, and the like) could damage the side-
wall resulting in serious injury. On pressure washers rated above 1600 PSI
(110 Bar) use the widest fan spray (40º nozzle)
and keep spray a minimum of 8” (20cm) from
the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do not aim spray
directly at the joint between the tire and rim. • •
