• Before starting the pressure washer in cold weather,

check all parts of the equipment and be sure ice has

not formed there.

• Units with broken or missing parts or covers, should

Never

be operated.

• 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.

• Always wear eye protection when you use this

equipment or when you are in the vicinity where the

equipment is in use.

• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and

drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to

slippery surfaces.

•

Do Not

by–pass any safety device on this machine.

• Operate and store this unit on a stable surface.
• Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if

inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting

or poisoning. The harmful elements may cause

property damage or severe injury.

•

Do Not

spray flammable liquids.

•

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.

• High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other

particles to become airborne.

•

Do Not

operate the pressure washer above the

rated pressure.

• High pressure spray may damage fragile items

including glass. 

Do Not

point spray gun at glass

when in the jet spray mode.

• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal

electric shock may result.

•

Never

use a spray gun which does not have a trigger

lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.

•

Never

aim the spray gun at people, animals or

plants. The high pressure stream of water that this

equipment produces can pierce skin and its

underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and

possible amputation.

• 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.

•

Do Not

secure the spray gun in the (open) position.

• 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.

•

Never

move the machine by pulling on the high

pressure hose. Use the handle provided on the unit.

• 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 maximum pressure rating of your unit.

• Check the fuel system for leaks or signs of

deterioration, such as chafed or spongy hose, loose

or missing clamps, or damaged tank or cap. Correct

all defects before operating the pressure washer.

• Operate engine only at governed speed. Running

the engine at excessive speeds increases the

hazard of personal injury. 

Do Not

tamper with parts

which may increase or decrease the governed

speed.

• The muffler and engine heat up during operation

and remain hot immediately after shutting it down.

Avoid contact with a hot muffler or engine as you

could be severely burned.

• The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in

good condition before operating the pressure

washer. These components act as spark arresters if

the engine backfires.

In the State of California a spark arrester is required by

law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources

Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal

laws apply on federal lands.

NOTE:

If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it

must be maintained in effective working order. You can

order a spark arrester through your authorized Honda

service dealer.
