RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
D A N G E R
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Your pressure washer operates at fl uid pressures and velocities high enough
to penetrate human and animal fl esh, which could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fi ttings or worn or damaged hoses
can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A
SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!
• Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced before attempting main-
tenance or disassembly.

engine, or shows any signs of cracking, bubbles, pinholes, or other leakage.
Never grasp a high-pressure hose that is leaking or damaged.
• Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole or similar water leak on the
high-pressure hose. The stream of water IS under high pressure and WILL
penetrate skin.
