Safety

area is dry before testing the spark plug or starting 
the engine. (Fire and/or explosion may occur if this 
is not done.)

Gasoline engines on mobile or portable equipment 
shall be refueled:

a. outdoors;

b. with the engine on the equipment stopped;

c. with no source of ignition within 10 feet of the 

dispensing point; and

d. with an allowance made for expansion of the fuel 

should the equipment be exposed to a higher 
ambient temperature.

In an overfilling situation, additional precautions 
are necessary to ensure that the situation is 
handled in a safe manner.

WARNING: Risk of injury. Disconnect battery 
ground terminal before servicing.

AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de blessures.

only designated gripping areas of 
spray gun and wand. Do not place 
hands or feet on non-insulated 
areas of the pressure washer.

blessures graves ou même la 

mort.

lance de nettoyage avec les deux 
mains avant de commencer. Le 
non-respect de cette consigne 
pourrait mener à des blessures 

causées par le mouvement violent de la lance
