& 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
sNn.
• 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.
•
When
using replacement lances
or
guns
with this pressure washer, DO
NOT
use
a lance and/or lance/gun combination
that
is
shorter in length than what
was
provided with this pressure washer
as
measured from the nozzle end
of
the
lance to the aun
triaaer.
• Injuries can result
if
system
pressure •
is
not
reduced before attempting
maintenance
or
disassembly.
To
relieve
system
pressure, shut
off
engine, tum
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.
