• Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities
high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh,
which could result in amputation or other serious
injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or
damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO
NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
• Never leave spray gun/wand unattended while
unit is running or powered on. When operating in
PRESSUREADY® system mode the engine and water
flow will stop when the spray gun trigger is released.
When the spray gun trigger is squeezed again the
engine and water flow will to restartautomatically.
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine
indoors can kill. Engine exhaust contains high levels
of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you
cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if
you do not smell engineexhaust.
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or
death! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadlygas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid enclosed areas such as garages, basements,etc.
• Never operate unit in or near a location occupied by
humans oranimals.
WARNING: Risk of fire, asphyxiation and burning. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke
when filling fueltank.
• Remove battery before filling fuel tank. Do not fill fuel
tank when battery isinstalled.
• Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 12.7mm
below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel
expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before startingengine.
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot
engine muffler during or immediately after use of your
pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with
hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered bywarranty.
NOTICE: NEVER pull water supply or high pressure hose
to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or
pumpinlet/outlet.
• DO NOT use hot water, use cold wateronly.
• Never turn water supply off while pressure washer
engine is running or damage to pump willresult.
• WHEN OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE ONLY: DO
NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes
at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray
gun trigger is not pressed. When the temperature
inside the pump rises too high the thermal relief valve
(
13
, Fig.J) will open and release a gush of water in
an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump.
The thermal relief valve will then close. If pump is left
in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal
components of the pump can bedamaged.
