IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
nia, the above is required by law. (Section 4442 and 4443 of the California
Public Resources Code.) Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on Federal lands.
RISK OF ASPHYXIATION
Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling engine/burner exhaust or
dangerous vapors. The engine exhaust from this product contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
This pressure washer has a Safety Relief Valve which should never be
altered, modified, removed or made inoperative. If the device fails, replace
immediately with genuine manufacturer replacement part.
Never operate this pressure washer in an enclosed area. Always make
certain there is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air) for breathing and
combustion. This will prevent the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide
gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas, or areas with exhaust fans which
can cause poor air exchange.
Follow all safety instructions provided with the materials you are spraying.
Use of a respirator may be required when working with some materials. Do
not use this pressure washer to dispense hazardous detergents.
RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY
Serious injury or death could occur from high pressure spray penetrating the
skin.
Keep clear of nozzle and spray! Never put your hand, fingers or body di-
rectly over the spray nozzle.
Never point the high pressure discharge spray at yourself or anyone else.
This equipment is to be used only by trained operators.
Always keep operating area clear of all persons.
Do not allow children to operate this unit.
Seek emergency medical care if the spray appears to have penetrated the
skin! Do not treat as a simple cut!!
High pressure hoses and fuel lines should be inspected daily for signs of
wear. If evidence of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses and
fuel lines to prevent the possibility of injury from the high pressure spray. If a
hose or fitting is leaking, Never place your hand directly on the leak
Never operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open position. To pre-
vent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be securely locked when
not in use.
Before removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, always shut off the
unit and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure. (Even after you shut off
the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump, hose and gun until you
release it by triggering the gun.)
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Serious injury or death may occur from contact with electricity.
Do not direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind! This in-
cludes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, the unit itself,
etc.
Do not allow metal components of the pressure washer to come in contact
with live electrical components.
