IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
MISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, CONT'D.

RISK OF BURSTING:

Serious injury may occur from a pressure washer malfunction or ex-
ploding accessories if incorrect system components, attachments or
accessories are used.
1. Never exceed manufacturers maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments.
2. Use only manufacturer recommended repair parts for your pressure washer.
Serious injury or death may occur if attempting to start the pressure
washer when the pump is frozen.
3. In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to ensure
there is no ice formation in the pump. Do not start the pressure washer
if it has been transported in an open or underheated vehicle without first
allowing the pump to thaw.

RISK FROM MOVING PARTS:

Serious injury may occur to the operator from moving parts on the pres-
sure washer.
1. Do not operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
2. Before servicing the pressure washer, turn the unit off, disconnect from the
power source, relieve the water pressure and allow the unit to cool down.
Service in a clean, dry, flat area.
3. Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the manual.

RISK OF BODILY INJURY:

Serious injury can occur from loose debris being propelled at high
speed from the spray gun.
1. Always wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the eyes
from flying debris and detergents.
2. Do not direct spray toward fragile materials such as glass. Shattering could
result in serious injury.
Injury may occur if the operator loses balance caused by the thrust of
water traveling through the spray nozzle.
1. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2. Never squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. DO NOT overreach or
stand on unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective
foot gear and keep good footing and balance at all times. Never trigger the
gun while on a ladder or roof.
INJURY MAY OCCUR FROM THE PRESSURE WASHER.
1. Always hold on firmly to the gun/lance assembly when starting and operating
the unit. Failure to do so can cause the lance to fall and whip dangerously.
2. Know how to stop the pressure washer and bleed pressures quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with controls.
