• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16gauge has more capacity than
18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When

WARNING: To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by
themanufacturer.

WARNING: Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to benonpotable.

WARNING: the machine shall be disconnected from
its power source during cleaning or maintenance and
when replacingparts.

WARNING: Do not use the machine if a supply cord
or important parts of the machine are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, triggergun.

WARNING: Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be
kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that
this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which
keeps the socket at least 60mm above theground.

WARNING :Always switch off the mains disconnecting
switch when leaving the machineunattended.

WARNING: Depending on the application, shielded
nozzles can be used for high pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous aerosols
dramatically. However, not all applications allow
the use of such a device. If shielded nozzles are not
applicable for the protection against aerosols, a
respiratory mask of class FFP 2or equivalent may be
needed, depending on the cleaningenvironment.
14 . Do not operate or store this product in temperatures
below 40°F (4°C). Freeze damage is not covered by

17 . To minimize the amount of water getting into the pressure
washer, the unit should be placed as far as possible from
the cleaning site duringoperation.
18 . To prevent accidental discharge, the spray gun should be
secured by locking the trigger when not inuse.
19 . To allow free air circulation, the pressure washer should
NOT be covered duringoperation.
20 . Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole
or similar water leak on the high‑pressure hose.
The stream of water IS under high pressure and WILL
penetrateskin.
21 . Use only hoses and accessories rated for pressure
higher than your pressure washer’s psi. Never use with
any other manufacturer’s accessories orcomponents.
22 . Never defeat the safety features of thisproduct.
23 . Do not operate machine with missing, broken or
unauthorizedparts.
