DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION) CONTINUED
• Some cleaning fluids
contain substances which
could cause injury to skin,
eyes or lungs.
• Use only cleaning fluids
specifically recommended
for high-pressure washers.
Follow manufacturers
recommendations. Do not
use chlorine bleach or any
other corrosive compound.
DANGER: RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Your pressure 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!
• Inspect the high-pressure
hose regularly. Replace
the hose immediately if it is
damaged, worn, has melted
from contacting the engine,
or shows any signs of cracks,
bubbles, pinholes, or other
leakage. Never grasp a
high-pressure hose that
is leaking or damaged.
• 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.
• Never place hands in front
of nozzle.
• Direct spray away from self
and others.
• Make sure hose and fittings
are tightened and in good
condition. Never hold onto
the hose or fittings during
operation.
• Do not allow hose to contact
muffler.
• Never attach or remove wand
or hose fittings while system
is pressurized.
• Injuries can result if system
pressure is not reduced
before attempting
maintenance or
disassembly.
• To relieve system pressure,
shut off engine, turn off water
supply and pull gun trigger
until water stops flowing.
•
Use only accessories rated
equal to or higher than the
rating of the pressure washer.
