WARNING

SERVICING OF A DOUBLE- INSULATED APPLIANCE.

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means are provided for a double- insulated product, nor should grounding means be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double- insulated product must be identical to the original parts. A double-insulated product is marked with the

words " double Insulation" or "Double Insulated". Product may also be PROBLEM marked with symbol shown.

WARNING

Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in the pressurized system. Ensure that all equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working pressure of the unit.

WARNING

Explosion hazard.

NEVER spray flammable liquids or use pressure washer in areas containing combustible dust, liquids or vapors.

NEVER operate this machine in a closed building or in or near an explosive environment.

POSSIBLE REASON WARNING

Do not spray electrical apparatus or wiring.

NEVER disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from the machine while the system is pressurized. To depressurize the machine, turn the power and water supply off, then press the gun trigger 2-3 times.

NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanism on the gun.

NEVER operate the machine without all the components properly connected to

the unit (handle, gun/lance assembly,

2

nozzle, etc.).

WARNING

Equipment damage.

ALWAYS turn water supply "ON" before turning the pressure washer "ON". Running pump dry causes serious damage.

Do not operate the pressure washer with the inlet water screen removed. Keep screen clear of debris and sediment.

NEVER operate pressure washer with broken or missing parts. Check equipment regularly and repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Use only the nozzle supplied with this machine.

Never leave the lance unattended while the machine is running.

Never attempt to alter factory settings. Altering factory settings could damage the unit and will void the warranty.

Always hold gun and lance firmly when starting and operating the machine.

NEVER allow the unit to run with the trigger released (OFF) for more than one minute. Resulting heat buildup will damage pump.

NEVER store the pressure washer outdoors or where it could freeze. The pump will be seriously damaged.

Release trigger when changing from high to low pressure modes. Failure to do so could result to damage to the nozzle.

This unit must always be used in the horizontal position.

CAUTION

Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hose may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged. Do not attempt to mend a damaged hose.
