or damage this tool or personal property.

4.Prior to starting the Pressure Washer in cold weather, check all of the parts of the unit to make sure ice has not formed. Do not store the unit anywhere that the temperature will fall near 32° F (0° C).

Operating Precautions

1.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing pressure washers. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pressure washer accidentally.

3.Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy- duty nonslip rubber work boots during use.

4.Use only accessories that are recommended by Harbor Freight Tools for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become hazardous when used on another one.

5.This product must continuously run with cold water only. Never use hot water. Do not dry run this product. Dry running will cause serious damage to the seals.
