marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using or in vicinity of
this equipment.

point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.

pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that

injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
