IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in the multiple ignition
sources or engine/burner exhaust.
Always operate pressure washer in a well ventilated area free of flammable
vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials.
Do not store the pressure washer near an open flame or any equipment
such as a stove, furnace, water heater, etc., which utilizes a pilot light or
sparking device.
Serious injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling.
Do not use this pressure washer to spray flammable material!
Do not smoke while filling fuel tanks.
Never fill the fuel tanks while the engine is running or hot. Allow the engine
to cool two minutes before refueling.
Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause
a risk of fire.

DO NOT jump start the battery unless both batteries are of equal voltage
and amperage.
