DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause
serious injury or death! Engine

anodorlessanddeadlygas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-
ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas
suchasgarages,basements,etc.
• Never operate unit in or near a location

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

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
