Check that the spark plug boot is securely mounted
on the spark plug. If a loose boot may cause arcing
which could ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
•
Check the engine switch, choke lever, throttle lever,
and trigger locking latch for proper function. The
throttle lever must move freely.
•
Keep all handles dry and clean, free from oil and dirt
– for safe control of the machine.
•
Always connect and turn on the water supply to the
pump before starting the engine. Do not operate the
pressure washer without water. Running the pressure
washer without water will cause the pump overheated,
which may result in permanent damage.
When starting the engine
WARNING
Your pressure washer is designed to be operated by
one person only. Do not allow other persons in the work
area even when starting.
•
Do not operate this pressure washer in temperatures
below 5°C. Operating pressure washer under the
temperature of 5°C may cause damage to pump and
other pressure washer parts. Damage to pressure
washer by user misuse is not covered under
warranty.
•
To reduce the risk of eye or other injury from water
spray and blown or sprayed objects, You must wear
proper clothing and approved personal protective
equipments (PPE) when you start the engine and
operate the machine.
•
Start the engine at least 10feet (3m) from the fueling
point, at a well-ventilated area, outdoors only.
•
Keep bystanders, especially children and animals at
least 50feet (15m) from the operating point. If you are
approached, immediately stop the engine and
engage the trigger locking latch on the spray gun.
•
Place the machine on firm ground in an open and well
ventilated area. Make sure you have good balance
and secure footing.
•
When you pull the starter rope handle, do not wrap
the starter rope around your hand. Do not allow the
rope to snap back by itself, but guide the starter rope
slowly back to permit the rope to rewind properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in injuries
to your hand or fingers and may damage the starter
mechanism.
information
When a new machine is first operated, in the first few
minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But,
since this is excessive grease, there is no cause of
alarm. Just wipe it off with the engine stopped for next
use
During operation
WARNING
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe
injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away
from all moving parts. Always stop engine, disconnect
spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before removing obstructions,
clearing debris, or servicing unit.
To reduce the risk of fire resulting in
serious or fatal injury or property
damage, never spray flammable or
combustible liquids.
To reduce the risk of explosion
resulting in serious or fatal injury or
property damage, never spray
flammable or combustible liquids.
To reduce the risk of short
circuiting, fire and electrocution,
never direct the spray at electrical
appliances and equipment, sockets
or power cords.
Keep hands and feet and other
parts of your body away from the
water jet at all times. Severe
laceration and fluid injection could
result from contact with the water
jet. Because of the high pressure
and spray velocity, fluids can
penetrate the skin and cause fluid
injection and/or severe cutting
injury. If an accident does occur and
the spray appears to have
penetrated the skin, seek
emergency medical care. Do not
treat as a simple cut.
Risk of Explosion.
Do not spray flammable liquids.
Flammable liquids, fuel, and their
vapors are explosive and can cause
severe burns or death.
Risk of kickback.
To reduce the risk of injury from
kickback, hold the gun and wand
securely with both hands when
work with the machine.
STOP
In the event of impending danger or
in an emergency, switch off the
engine immediately by pressing the
engine stop switch backward to
STOP position, and engage the
trigger locking latch.
•
Always hold the spray attachment firmly with both
hands in order to control the reactive forces, including
any additional torque produced when using angled
spray attachments or an angled spray wand. The
spray jet causes reactive forces on the spray
attachment in a direction opposite to the direction of
the spray (recoil or kickback).
•
Never direct the high pressure jet toward yourself or
other persons, not even to clean clothing or shoes.
Do not direct the high pressure jet toward animals.
