Never fill the tank to more than 80% of maximum capacity as this will not leave an expansion chamber for absorbing any pressure increases.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDS

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power supply cord from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
• Do not operate the machine with a damaged cord or plug — replace the cord or plug immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, disconnect the power cord by pulling on the plug rather than the cord.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock
and component damage. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on plug on recycler.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That the wire size is large enough for the length of cord as specified below:

clothing and keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Keep hoses and tools clear of moving parts. Always stay clear of moving engine
parts. Hoses and tools can be thrown through the air if not kept clear of moving engine parts.
• The unexpected movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When working on vehicles always set the parking brake or block the wheels.

FUME HAZARDS

• FUMES, GASES, AND VAPORS CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, ILLNESS, AND DEATH! To reduce the risk of discomfort, illness, or death, read,
