DO NOT place the pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
ENGLISH 76522 Operation Distance from Cleaning Surface The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning surface affects the impact force of the water. The impact force of the water increases as the nozzle is moved closer to the surface. You can vary the impact force by controlling 1. The nozzle’s fan pattern. 2. The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface. 3. The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface. Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage.
76522 ENGLISH Operating Tips CAUTION Never operate your pressure washer without water. CAUTION Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply. Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water source will significantly reduce the life of the pump and will void your warranty. CAUTION Running the unit for more than one minute without spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump. In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal relief valve will open to release the hot water.
