24. Only use detergent specifically formulated for power washers and follow
instructions on the detergent’s label. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and will
clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
25. Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to detergent.
IMPORTANT:
Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit
from expanding under freezing conditions. When the water freezes and expands,
your power washer will be damaged and become inoperable. Or, if storing
outdoors, it is recommended you use pump saver (not included) to protect
pumps.
26. NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will overheat and damage
the high pressure pump.
27. NEVER leave the power washer unattended while it is powered “ON”.
28. ALWAYS turn the water supply “ON ” before turning the power washer
power to “ON”. Running the pump dry will cause damage to the internal
components.
29. NEVER use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 PSI
maximum.
30. NEVER disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while the
system is pressurized.
31. NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
32. NEVER operate the power washer unless all components are properly and
securely connected.
33. NEVER allow the power washer pump to run for more than one minute after
you have turned off the water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
34. NEVER use lances or other parts that are not compatible for this specific
ECHO Bear Cat unit.
35. NEVER use an extension power cord since it defeats the effectiveness of the
GFCI and increases the chance of electrocuting the operator.
36. NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power washer.
37. Inspect the power cord before using. DO NOT use it if it is damaged.
