WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator’s
manual and all operating instructions could
result in death, serious injury, and/or property
damage.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury. Turn pressure washer engine
OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing
fuel cap. Let spilled fuel evaporate before starting
engine. Always allow space for fuel expansion.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go which could cause broken
bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting
in serious injury. NEVER pull starter cord without first
relieving spray gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Firmly grasp
spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARNING Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes.
You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Operate
ONLY outside far away from windows, doors
and vents. Install carbon monoxide alarms. DO NOT run
this product inside homes or garages, even if using fans or
opening doors and windows.
WARNING High water pressure could cut through
skin resulting in serious injury. Spray gun
traps high water pressure, even when engine
is stopped and water is disconnected. NEVER
aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants. ALWAYS
point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and
squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure,
every time you stop engine.
WARNING Risk of eye injury. Spray could splash back
or propel objects resulting in serious injury.
Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash)
safety goggles marked to comply with AS/NZS
1337 (ANSI Z87.1 equivalent) when using or in vicinity of
this equipment. NEVER substitute safety glasses or dry-
condition goggles for indirect vented safety goggles.
