equipment is in use.
The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and
drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to
slippery surfaces.

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.
