Section 1: Safety Rules

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.

•ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release pressure and avoid kickback each time, before starting engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.

•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 gun in safe direction 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 gun kicks back.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of pressure washer including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision.

•Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

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 traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.

•NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.

•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.

•Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.

•ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.

WARNING

High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to become airborne.

•Always wear safety goggles when using this equipment or in vicinity of where equipment is in use.

•Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing adequate safety goggles.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

•Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
