Generac Portable Products 3200PSI High Pressure Washer
• High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other
particles to become airborne and fly at high speeds.
• Never allow any part of the body to come in contact
with the fluid stream. DO NOT come in contact with
a fluid stream created by a leak in the high pressure
hose.
• The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• Always wear eye protection when you use this
equipment or when you are in the vicinity where the
equipment is in use.
• Operate the pressure at no more than the PSI fluid
pressure rated for your pressure washer.
• Never move the machine by pulling on the high
pressure hose. Use the handle provided on the top
of the unit.
• Always be certain the spray gun, nozzles and
accessories are correctly attached.
• Never use a spray gun which does not have a
trigger lock or trigger guard in place and in working
order.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a
chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all
instructions with mask so you are certain the mask
will provide the necessary protection against
inhaling harmful vapors.
• High pressure spray may damage fragile items
including glass. Do not point spray gun at glass
when in the jet spray mode.
• Keep the hose connected to machine or the spray
gun while the system is pressurized. Disconnecting
the hose while the unit is pressurized is dangerous.
• Hold the spray gun firmly in your hand before you
start the unit. Failure to do so could result in an
injury from a whipping spray gun. Do not leave the
spray gun unattended while the machine is running.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes
and drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due
to slippery surfaces.
• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal
electric shock may result.
• Do not secure trigger gun in the pull–back (open)
position.
• Do not by–pass any safety device on this machine.
• The muffler and engine heat up during operation
and remain hot immediately after shutting it down.
Avoid contact with a hot muffler or engine or you
could be severely burned.
• Operate and store this unit on a stable surface.
• High pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, abuse, etc. Water spraying from a leak is
capable of injecting material into skin. Inspect hose
each time before using it. Check all hoses for cuts,
leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, or damage or
movement of couplings. If any of these conditions
exist, replace hose immediately. Never repair high
pressure hose. Replace it with another hose that
meets minimum pressure rating of your pressure
washer.
