2450 PSI Pressure Washer

WARNING

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.

Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.

Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or enclosure.

Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled.

Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.

WARNING

Use of pressure washer can create puddles and slippery surfaces.

High pressure spray could cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface.

Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

Operate this unit on a stable surface.

The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

If engine starts and fails to continue to run or if increased resistance is felt during starting pull attempts, squeeze trigger on spray gun.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable an explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing gas cap.

Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT

Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT 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 can ignite fuel vapors.

WARNING

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

Spray gun retains high pressure when pressure washer is shut down, which can cause injury.

NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.

DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.
