SAFETY & WARNING INSTRUCTIONS TROUBLE SHOOTING
WARNING
Do not use pressure that exceeds the
operating pressure of any of the parts
(hoses, fittings, etc.) in the pressurized
system. Ensure that all equipment and
accessories are rated to withstand the
maximum working pressure of the unit.
WARNING
Explosion hazard.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids or
use pressure washer in areas
containing combustible dust, liquids
or vapors.
• NEVER operate this machine in a
closed building or in or near an
explosive environment.
WARNING

nozzle, etc.).
WARNING
• Always hold gun and lance firmly when
starting and operating the machine.
• NEVER allow the unit to run with the
trigger released (OFF) for more than
one minute. Resulting heat buildup
will damage pump.
• NEVER store the pressure washer
outdoors or where it could freeze. The
pump will be seriously damaged.
• Release trigger when changing from
high to low pressure modes. Failure to
do so could result to damage to the
nozzle.
• This unit must always be used in the
horizontal position.
CAUTION
Equipment damage.
• ALWAYS turn water supply "ON"
before turning the pressure washer
"ON". Running pump dry causes
serious damage.
• Do not operate the pressure washer
with the inlet water screen removed.
Keep screen clear of debris and
sediment.
• NEVER operate pressure washer
with broken or missing parts. Check
equipment regularly and repair or
replace worn or damaged parts
immediately.
• Use only the nozzle supplied with this
machine.
• Never leave the lance unattended
while the machine is running.

WARNING
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-
INSULATED APPLIANCE.
In a double-insulated product, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding
means are provided for a double-
insulated product, nor should grounding
means be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only
by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-
insulated product must be identical to
the original parts. A double-insulated
product is marked with the
words " double Insulation"
or "Double Insulated".
Product may also be
marked with symbol shown.
Keep hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting hose may cause injury. Examine
hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
Do not attempt to mend a damaged hose.
