Additional Safety Instructions for Pressure
Washers
1.FLUID INJECTION. This machine operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh. Should such an injury occur, it may be a surgical emergency. DO NOT treat fluid injection as a normal cut, instead, see a physician immediately.
2.ADEQUATE VENTILATION. During operation this machine produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas. Make sure the work area is adequately ventilated. Never operate this machine indoors.
3.COOLING ENGINE. Motor parts get hot during operation. Allow to cool before placing hands near motor, adding fuel, or performing any service or maintenance.
4.FUEL SPILLS. Fuel exposed to hot engine components may ignite. Thoroughly clean all fuel spills before starting.
5.ELECTRICAL OVERSPRAY HAZARD. Spraying water near electrical outlets, switches, or objects connected to an electrical circuit, could result in a fatal electric shock.
6.CHANGING NOZZLES. Be sure to release water pressure before changing nozzles, or performing any service or maintenance, to reduce the risk of fluid injection injury.
7.APPROVED FLUIDS. Some cleaning fluids could cause injury to skin, eyes, or lungs. Use only cleaning fluids approved for high pressure washers and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Never spray any corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or flammable solvents with this machine.
8.HOLDING SPRAY GUN. The reactive force of the spray will cause the gun to move, and could cause the operator to fall or misdirect the spray. Always stand in a stable position, grip the gun firmly with both hands, and do not overreach. Use extreme caution on roofs and ladders and always wear appropriate harnesses and safety equipment.
9.SLIPPING HAZARDS. The use of pressure washers can create puddles and other slippery surfaces. Use extreme caution on these surfaces to reduce the risk of a fall.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
