SAFETY WARNINGS

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING PRESSURE WASHER

Serious injury or death may occur

from inhaling engine/burner exhaust

or dangerous vapors. The engine

exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive

harm.

This pressure washer was designed for outdoor

use only. Never operate this pressure washer

in an enclosed area. Always make certain there

is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air) for

breathing and combustion. This will prevent

the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide

gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas, or

areas with exhaust fans which can cause poor

air exchange.
Follow all safety instructions provided with the

materials you are spraying. Use of a respirator

may be required when working with some

materials. Do not use this pressure washer

to dispense hazardous detergents.

RISK OF INJECTION OR

SEVERE CUTTING INJURY

Serious injury or death could occur

from high pressure spray penetrating

the skin.

Keep clear of nozzle and spray! Never put

your hand, fingers or body directly over the

spray nozzle.
Never point the high pressure discharge spray

at yourself or anyone else.
Always keep operating area clear of all

persons.
DO NOT allow children to operate this unit.
SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE if the

spray appears to have penetrated the skin!

DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT!!
High pressure hoses and fuel lines should be

inspected daily for signs of wear. If evidence

of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect

hoses and fuel lines to prevent the possibility of

injury from the high pressure spray. If a hose

or fitting is leaking, NEVER PLACE YOUR

HAND DIRECTLY ON THE LEAK.
NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired

in the open position. To prevent accidental

discharge, the trigger gun should be securely

locked when not in use.
Before removing the spray nozzle or servicing

the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit and trigger

the gun to release trapped pressure. (Even

after you shut off the unit, there is high

pressure water left in the pump, hose and gun

until you release it by triggering the gun.)

RISK OF

ELECTROCUTION OR

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Serious injury or death may occur

from contact with electricity.

DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical

installations of any kind! This includes

electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes,

transformers, the unit itself, etc.

DO NOT allow metal components of the

pressure washer to come in contact with live

electrical components.
