 Use caution when positioning the pressure washer for
use. Warm air from the engine could cause discolored spots
on grass.
 Never direct a water stream toward people or pets, or
any electrical device.
 Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors and
windows. Clear the area to be cleaned of debris, toys, out-
door furniture, or other objects that could create a hazard.
 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is
running.
 Never start the machine if ice has formed in any part of the
equipment.
 Do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable material,
bleaches, or industrial grade solutions in this product.
These products can cause physical injuries to the operator
and irreversible damage to the machine.
 Always operate the machine on a level surface. If the engine
is on an incline, it could seize due to improper lubrication
(even at the maximum lubricant level).
 WARNING: High pressure jets can be dangerous if sub-
ject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
animals, electrical devices, or the machine itself.
 Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to
reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control
and injury to yourself and others.
 Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine
(motor) is running (except where specifically recommended
by the manufacturer).
 Protective covers must always cover rotating parts when
the engine is running.
 Keep cooling air intake (starter grip and rope area) and
muffler side of the engine at least 3 feet away from buildings,
obstructions, and other combustible objects.
 Keep the engine away from flammables and other haz-
ardous materials.
 Keep away from hot parts. The muffler, exhaust gases,
and other engine parts become very hot. Do not touch the
muffler or place any body parts in the path of hot exhaust
gases, which can cause burns and other serious personal
injuries.
 Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when
starting and operating the engine.
 Check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel leakage
before each use.
 Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use. A
loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine problems.
 Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Page 3 — English
 Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present, such
as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like.
 If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors into a
container approved for gasoline and away from all igni-
tion sources.
 To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with
care. It is highly flammable.
 Do not smoke while handling fuel.
 Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
 Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep
fuel from escaping around the cap.
 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
 Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 feet away from
refueling site before starting engine.
 If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creat-
ing any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
 Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circumstances.
 Before storing, allow the pressure washer to cool for 30
minutes and drain fuel from the unit.
 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from
spark and/or flame-producing equipment.
 Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this pur-
pose.
 Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit from moving before
transporting in a vehicle.
 When servicing use only recommended or equivalent
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
 ONLY use cold water.
 Make sure minimum clearance of 3 feet is maintained from
combustible materials.
 Never spray close to the surface to be cleaned as you can
damage the surface.
 After stopping the engine, always pull the trigger on the
trigger handle to relieve stored pressure in the high pres-
sure hose. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
 For outdoor use only.
 Ensure the high pressure hose is properly connected
before using the product.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
