OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
1. Using the pressure washer indoors can kill you in
minutes. Only use the pressure washer outside and far
away from windows, doors and vents.
2. Do not smoke near the pressure washer.
3. Do not operate near open flame, heat, or flammable
materials. This pressure washer may emit highly flam-
mable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause
severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open
flame can lead to an explosion even if it isn’t directly in
contact with gasoline.
4. Always operate the pressure washer on a firm, level
surface.
5. The pressure washer should have at least 5 feet of
clearance from buildings or other equipment during
operation.
6. Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to
operate the pressure washer.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATION
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning
labels on the pressure washer identifying hot parts on
the machine.
2. Allow the pressure washer to cool down after use
before touching the engine or areas of the pressure
washer that become hot during operation.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position when
the engine is not running.
4. The high pressure stream of water can cut through
skin and cause serious injury. Do not aim the stream of
water at yourself or at any one else, including animals.
5. Hoses and tubes can become damaged from coming
in contact with a hot engine or muffler. Always double
check the hose for perforations before starting up the
machine and keep it clear of the engine and the muffler.
6. Kickback from operation can cause the user to fall
down. Always operate the pressure washer on a level
and non-elevated surface to prevent the risk of falling.
7. Always wear safety goggles to protect from possi-
ble mishaps with the stream or detergents. Always be
aware of the dangers associated with the detergents and
chemicals that you are working with. Attach all hoses
before starting the engine.
8. Pressure washers vibrate in normal use. During and
after the use of the pressure washer, inspect both the
pressure washer as well as extension and power supply
cords for damage resulting from vibration. Have dam-
aged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not
use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as
broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
