WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS.
Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General Safety
This pressure washer generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid through your skin and into your body and cause extremely serious bodily injury including the need for amputation. Also, fluid injected or splashed into the eyes or on the skin can cause serious damage.
NEVER point the spray gun or wand at anyone or at any part of the body. NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, before cleaning or servicing any part of the sprayer.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly before each use.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection and splashing in the eyes or on the skin, always follow this procedure whenever you stop spraying for more than 10 minutes, when shutting down, and before checking or repairing any part of the system.
1.Engage the trigger safety latch.
2.Turn the sprayer off.
3.Remove the ignition cable from the spark plug.
4.Shut off the water supply.
5.Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun to relieve pressure, and then engage the trigger safety latch again.
6.Before long±term (overnight) storage or transporting of unit, disconnect the water supply and turn off the fuel supply valve.
Medical Treatment
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the bloodstream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before each use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this can cause a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury.
SAFETY LATCH: Whenever you stop spraying for a moment, always set the gun safety latch in the engaged or ªsafeº position, making the gun inoperative. Failure to properly set the safety latch can result in accidental triggering of the gun.
SPRAY TIP SAFETY: Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If a spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch immediately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and then remove the spray tip to clean it.
