High velocity spray fluids can penetrate skin, causing serious
injury. In the event that an accident occurs and spray appears
to have penetrated the skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
DO NOT treat water penetration into the skin as
a simple cut. If cleaning and/or soaping agents are being
used, advise the physician of the exact type.

NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop the ma-
chine.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any kind.

• NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle extension.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.

excess water and reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery
surfaces.
