RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Unsafe operation of your pressure washer
could lead to serious injury or death to you or
others.
• If proper starting procedure is not
followed, engine can kickback causing
serious hand and arm injury.
• The spray gun/wand is a powerful cleaning
tool that could look like a toy to a child.
• Reactive force of spray will cause gun/wand
to move, and could cause the operator to slip
or fall, or misdirect the spray. Improper control
of gun/wand can result in injuries to self and
others.
• Spray directed at electrical outlets or
switches, or objects connected to an elec-
trical circuit, could result in a fatal
electrical shock.
• 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 in-
jection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID IN-
JECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a phy-
sician immediately!
• Relieve system pressure before attempting
maintenance or disassembly of
equipment.
• Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals,
poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flam-
mable solvent with this product could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
• Contact with hot surfaces, such as engines
exhaust components, could result in seri-
ous burn.

pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to
avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm
injury.
• Keep children away from the pressure
washer at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable
support. Grip gun/wand firmly with both
hands. Expect the gun to kick when trig-
gered.

rated for pressure higher than your pressure
washer's p.s.i.
• To relieve system pressure, shut off engine,
turn off water supply, and pull gun trigger until
water stops flowing.
