WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could
cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least
2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly
to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner are
in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• DO NOT operate this product inside any building,
carport, porch, mobile equipment, marine applications,
or enclosure.
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes
fuel to spill.
• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.
WHEN TRANSPORTING, MOVING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
• Transport/move/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel
shutoff valve OFF (0).
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes
fuel to spill.
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go which could cause
broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
resulting in serious injury.
• NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun
pressure.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run,
always point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• If cut by fluid, call physician immediately. DO NOT treat
as a simple cut.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any
kind. Replace o-ring or seal.
• NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle extension.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants.
• DO NOT secure spray gun in open position.
• DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is
running.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger
lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are
correctly attached.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage
fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns
resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of
pressure washer including overhead.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code,
Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land
unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained
in effective working order. Other states or federal
jurisdictions may have similar laws.
Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or
dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in
the same position as the original parts.
