DANGER: Risk of Injury or Proper­ty­ Damage

When Transporting or storing

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

 

kickback, 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.

 

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.

Do not use pressure washer

 

while standing on a ladder.

Grip gun/wand firmly with

 

both hands. Expect the

 

gun to kickback when

 

triggered.

What can happen

Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard. Seri­ous­ inju­ry­ or death can result­. Fuel or oil leaks will damage­ carpet, paint or other­ surfaces in vehi­cles­

or trailers.

Oil could fill the cylinder and damage the engine if the unit is not stored or transported in an upright position.

How to prevent it

If pressure washer is equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve to the off position before transport- ing to avoid fuel leaks. If pres­ sure washer­ is not equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, drain the fuel from tank before transport­ing­. Only transport­ fuel in an OSHA-approved container.

Always­ place pressure washer on a protective mat when transporting to protect against damage­ to vehicle from leaks.

Always transport and store unit in an upright position. Remove­ pressure­ washer from vehicle immediately upon arrival at your destination.
