DURING USE
Stay alert. Watch what you are always doing.
Clear work area. Clear the work area of all bystanders. Keep children and pets away.
Dual gun use (if equipped). During dual gun use, always stay aware of the other operator’s location and keep spray
directed away from them.
Keep spray away from electrical wiring. Spray contact with electrical wiring will result in severe electrical shock or
electrocution.
Hot exhaust/parts. Stay clear of the engine and burner exhausts. Never touch a hot engine muffler, burner/heating coil,
or other hot surfaces. All are extremely hot and will burn you.
Do not direct spray at this machine. Do not attempt to clean this machine with its own spray. Engine damage will
result. Cleaning should be done with a damp sponge with the engine OFF.
Let engine cool. At least two minutes before refueling.
Avoid inhalation of exhaust. This product emits CO and chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Never pull by hose. Do not move this machine by pulling on the hose. Hose or connections could fail and result in
catastrophic high-pressure release of fluid as well as hose whipping.
Avoid sharp objects. Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury.
No load bearing. Do not use the pump to support other items of equipment that impose unacceptable loads on the pump.
Do not attempt to use this machine as a prop.
Lock trigger safety latch when not spraying. Spray gun is equipped with a built-in trigger safety latch to guard against
accidental trigger release. Rotate safety latch to the locked position when not spraying.
Never leaving unattended. Always turn off the pressure washer and relieve system pressure before leaving the sprayer
unattended.
PROMPT EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Seek medical aid for suspected injection injury. If injured by high-pressure fluid, no matter how small the wound is,
see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a small puncture wound that does not look serious. However,
severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is
familiar with injection injuries.
Seek medical aid for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the pressure washer, shut off the
engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Eye and skin injection injury from high pressure spray
• Hearing loss
• Burns from hot water or steam
• Eye injury from flying debris
• Wear waterproof, thermally insulated gloves, safety goggles, face protection, and protective clothing when operating
the machine. If spraying pressure washer specific chemicals, wear a respirator mask to avoid inhalation of vapors if
directed on the chemical label.
