What can happen

•Your pressure 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 injection injuries.

DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS

A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!

How to prevent it

•Inspect the high-pressure hose regularly. Replace the hose immediately if it is damaged, worn, has melted from contacting the engine, or shows any signs of cracks, bubbles, pinholes, or other leakage. Never grasp a high-pressure hose that

is leaking or damaged.

•Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole or similar water leak on the high- pressure hose. The stream of water IS under high pressure and WILL penetrate skin.

•Never place hands in front of nozzle­.

•Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced before attempting mainte- nance or disassembly.

	lances or guns with this
	pressure washer, do not
	use a lance and/or lance/gun
	combination that is shorter
	in length than what was
	provided with this pressure
	washer as measured from the
	nozzle end of the lance to the
	gun trigger.
•	To relieve system­ pressure,­
	shut off engine, turn off water
	supply­ and pull gun trigger
	until water stops flowing.
•	Use only accessories rated
	equal to or higher than the
	rating of the pressure washer.
