IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If connection is made to a portable water system, the system should be protected against backow.
WARNING
Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from expanding under freezing
conditions.
When the water freezes and expands, your power washer will be damaged and become
inoperable. After disconnecting the water supply and before disconnecting the high pressure
hose, turn the pressure washer on for 2-3 seconds, then turn the unit off immediately.
IMPORTANT
!
■ Never use hot water with your pressure washer. It will overheat and damage the high pressure
pump.
■ Never leave the pressure washer unattended while it is powered on.
■ Always turn the water supply on before turning the pressure washer power to on position. Running
the pump dry will cause damage to the internal components.
■ Never use a water supply to your pressure washer that exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
■ Keep ngers, hands, feet and any part of your body clear of the stream of high pressure water. The
powerful spray can cause injury to skin and body. It can break a window if you are too close when
you pull the trigger on the spray gun.
■ Always wear eye protection to prevent injury to eyes when operating the pressure washer.
■ To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the trigger safety lock when not using the pressure washer
even if the spraying stops for a moment.
■ The pressure washer is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the power
cord plug which greatly reduces the chance of electric shock while the unit is in use. If replacement
of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
■ Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning a power washing session.
■ When rst using the spray gun, hold the spray gun and lance with two hands when pulling the
trigger until you get used to the “kick back” from the spray gun (one hand to pull the trigger and the
other to stabilize the gun assembly).
■ Never disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while the system is pressurized.
■ Never permanently engage the trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
■ Never operate the pressure washer unless all components are properly and securely connected.
■ Never allow the pressure washer pump to run for more than one minute after turning off the water
supply. This can cause the motor and pump to overheat and fail.
■ Never use lances or other parts that have not been supplied with your power washer.
■ Never use accessories that have not been supplied with this pressure washer. Only use included
parts.
■ Never spray electrical outlets or electrical components with your pressure washer.
