Safety Rules

• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal electric

shock may result.

Spray contact with electrical wiring can result in
electrocution.

WARNING

• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that

vapors may be inhaled.

• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will

provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if
inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea,
fainting or poisoning.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.

DANGER

• Keep spray tip between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning

surface.

• Operate this unit on a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to

reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from

a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
High pressure spray could cause you to fall if
you are too close to the cleaning surface.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes

before removing gas cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL
IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes

dryers or other appliances that have a pilot light or other

explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
