rated in the Technical Specifications. To avoid rupture
and injury, do not operate this product with components
rated less than the unit itself (including but not limited to
spray guns, hose, and hose connections).
CAUTION–SPECIFIC SAFETY
ADVICE
• Avoid dangerous conditions. Always operate this
product on dry, solid and level ground.
• Never operate this product on slippery, wet,
muddy, or icy surfaces. The operating area should
be free from any obstructions. There should be
plenty of room for handling, and the operator should
stay alert at all times.
• Do not use this product in wet or damp areas or
expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes
from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a
potential hazard.
• Inspect this product. Check before turning it on.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool area before turning
it on.
• Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before
using it. Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic
fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.
Always check the oil level in the oil tank. Never
operate this product when it needs to be repaired or
when it is in poor mechanical condition.
• Never move or pull this product while spraying.
• Do not run the engine at a high speed when you
are not using the product.
• Risk of electric shock! The water spray
must never be directed towards any electric
wiring, devices, or directly towards the
pressure washer itself, or fatal electric shock
may occur.
• Risk of injury! Do not direct the discharge
stream at people. The high-pressure jet can
be dangerous if misused, and therefore must
not be directed at people, animals, electrical
devices or the unit itself.
• Risk of explosion! When a combustible liquid is
sprayed, there can be danger of fire or explosion,
especially in a closed area. Therefore, do not spray
flammable liquids. Do not use acids and solvents
with this product either. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and irreversible
damage to the product.
