Safety Precautions 

– continued

 22. DO NOT allow your pressure washer to freeze
 

 during colder months. Damage as a result of

 

 freezing will void the warranty.

 23. Prior to starting the pressure washer in cold
 

 weather, be sure that ice has not formed in

 

 any part of the equipment.

 24. Never tie knots or kink the high-pressure hose
 

 as damage could result. DO NOT operate the

 

 unit if the high-pressure hose is damaged.

 25. The Gun Safety Lock PREVENTS the trigger
 

 from accidentally being engaged. This safety

 

 feature DOES NOT lock trigger in the ON

  

position.

 26. To avoid serious injury and damage to the unit
 

 DO NOT operate this pressure washer with 

 

 any components rated less than 2800 PSI

 

 (i.e.: spray guns, hoses, hose couplings, etc...)

 27. DO NOT allow the pressure washer to run for
 

 more than 3 minutes with the gun closed and

 

 the engine running. Prolonged operation in

 

 bypass mode can result in damage to the pump.

 28. Shut the engine OFF if you are not using the
  

pressure 

washer.

 CAUTION: 

The pressure has been pre-set by

  the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to adjust the
  pressure higher than its factory setting. Doing so
  will damage the pump, void the warranty and
  could result in personal injury or damage.

 CAUTION: 

This machine has been designed

  for use with pressure washer detergents only.

Important Safety Precautions

Water Supply 

(Cold Water Only)

This pressure washer must only be used with
clean water; use of unfiltered water or corrosive
chemicals will damage the pressure washer.

  1.  The supply hose should be at least 5/8"
  

in 

diameter

  2. The water supply must be at least equal to
 

 the flow rate of the pressure washer.

  3. The water supply pressure must be a minimum
 

 of 20 psi and must not exceed 145 psi.

  4. The water supply temperature must not exceed
  

40˚C/104˚F.

  5. Never use the pressure washer to draw in
 

 water contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint

 

 thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.

  6. Always prevent debris from being drawn into
 

 the unit by using a clean water source.

  7. Calcium build-up due to hard water is NOT
 

 covered by the warranty.
