Operating precautions

1. Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing pressure washers. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the pressure washer accidentally.

2. Do not leave the equipment unattended

when it is running. Turn off the equipment

before leaving the work area.

3. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-

duty nonslip rubber work boots during use.

4. Use only accessories that are recommended by

Harbor Freight Tools for your model. Accessories

that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may

become hazardous when used on another one.

5. This product must continuously run with

cold water only. Never use hot water. Do

not dry run this product. Dry running will

cause serious damage to the seals.

6. To avoid electrical shock, never start and run the

Pressure Washer in the rain. Never allow water

to leak into the Body of the Pressure Washer.

Do not direct discharge stream at the Pressure

Washer itself or at other live electrical equipment.

7. Do not allow the GFCI Plug to become wet.

Always place the GFCI Plug in a dry location and as

far away as possible from the object being sprayed.

8. DO NOT use an extension cord with this product.

9. When using the Pressure Washer, always maintain

a firm grip on the Spray Gun. Squeezing the

Trigger of the Spray Gun causes a kickback force.

10. Do not feed already-pressurized water (such as that

from another pressure washer) into this washer.

11. People with pacemakers should consult their

physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in

close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

12. WARNING: The brass components of this

product contain lead, a chemical known to

the State of California to cause birth defects

(or other reproductive harm). (California

Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

13. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will

expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State

of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or

other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

14. Use the correct equipment for the application.

Do not modify the equipment and do not use the

equipment for a purpose for which it is not intended.

15. If water is leaking out of the Pressure Washer

immediately turn off the unit. Unplug the

Pressure Washer, and discharge all pressure

before tightening fittings or having repair

work done by a qualified technician.

16. The high pressure water flow can damage

the work surface if not used properly.

Always test the spray in an open area first.

17.

Injection Hazard. The high pressure

water jet produced by this tool can cut

skin or cause injury to hands or eyes.

Do not allow spray to strike you and do

not spray toward people or animals.

Do not spray the tool itself or any electrical source.

18. This Pressure Washer is intended for

outdoor residential use only.

immediately release the trigger on the spray

handle, turn the power switch off and then

unplug the unit. Do not set the spray handle

down without turning off the power switch.
