USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING:
Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high pres-
sure hose prior to and during each use and do not allow
it to become kinked. The high pressure hose features an
outer covering that provides strength to the hose. If the
outer covering becomes damaged, stop using the hose
and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged hose
can develop a high pressure leak and result in a possible
injection or other serious personal injury.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
 Inspect the hose before every use.
 Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.
