To reduce the risk of injury, read the pressure washer
instruction manual and the engine instruction manual
before starting pressure washer.
Risk of fluid injection and laceration. When using the
high-pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high-pressure
spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or
animals. Serious injury will occur.
• Your 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!
Risk of Fire, Asphyxiation and Burn. NEVER fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to pro-
vide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment
before starting engine.
• NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or imme-
diately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot
engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
Risk of property damage. Never pull water supply hose to
move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or
pump inlet.
• DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
• NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to
pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates
in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be dam-
aged.
If you do not understand these precautions, speak to a service representative
for further instructions.
