RISK OF INJURY:
 The pressure washer produces fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human
and animal flesh which could result in serious injury and/or amputation.
 Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Inspect all hoses to ensure they are not damaged
or kinked. Loose connections or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries.
 Ensure all quick-connect fittings are properly connected. Pull on connection to ensure
fittings are secure. Improperly connected quick-connect fittings can unexpectedly separate
resulting in injury.
 NEVER place your hands in front of the nozzles.
 NEVER attempt to attach or remove the spray wand or hose fittings while pressure washer
system is pressurised.
 DO NOT treat fluid injection injuries as a simple cut. Seek immediate medical attention.
 DO NOT allow pressure hose to come in contact with the engine muffler.
 High velocity fluid spray can cause objects to break, propelling particles at high speeds.
 ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when using or doing maintenance on pressure
washers.
 DO NOT permanently secure spray wand trigger in open position.
 DO NOT use spray wand that does not have a trigger lock or trigger guard in place and in proper
working order.
DO NOT use acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, flammable solvents or bleach with
the pressure washer. Use of these chemicals can result in damage to equipment or serious injury or
death.
DO NOT direct spray toward electrical outlets, switches or products connected to electrical
service. Failure to observe this warning can result in electrocution resulting in severe electrical
shock or burns and perhaps resulting in death.
NEVER run the pressure pump without the water supply connected and turned on. Non-repairable
damage to the pump will occur.
The pressure washer can create puddles of slippery solutions that can become hazardous.
Ensure you stand on a stable surface while operating the pressure washer. Initial kickback from
engaging the spray wand can make you lose your balance and fall, resulting in minor to severe injuries.
Use extreme caution if you must operate the pressure washer from a ladder or scaffolding. Kickback
from the spray wand can result in loss of balance and will result in a fall that could cause serious injuries
or even death.
When cleaning the pressure washer, ensure there are adequate slopes for drainage so solutions don’t
create puddles around the unit that could result in slipping and falling.
Firmly hold the spray wand with both hands when using high pressure spray avoiding injury should the
spray wand kick back.
