 use gasoline in your fuel oil tank. Gasoline 

is more combustible than fuel oil and could result in 
a serious explosion. 

NEVER

 use crankcase or 

waste oil in your burner. Fuel unit malfunction could 
result from contamination.

7. Do not confuse gasoline and fuel oil tanks. Keep 

proper fuel in proper tank.

WARNING: Risk of injury. Hot 
surfaces can cause burns. Use 
only designated gripping areas of 
spray gun and wand. Do not place 
hands or feet on non-insulated 
areas of the pressure washer.

AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de 
blessures. Les surfaces chaudes 
peuvent causer des brûlures. 
Utiliser uniquement les zones de 

prise désignées du pistolet pulvérisateur et de la

endroits non isolés de la laveuse à pression

8. Transport/Repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel 

shut-off valve OFF.

not touch or direct discharge 
stream at persons or animals.

ATTENTION: Liquide de décharge 
chaud. Ne pas toucher ou 
décharger directement le jet vers

10. Never make adjustments on machine while in 

operation.
Be certain all quick coupler fittings are secured 
before using pressure washer.

WARNING: High pressure 
developed by these machines will 
cause personal injury or 
equipment damage. Keep clear of 
nozzle. Use caution when oper-
ating. Do not direct discharge 
stream at people and animals, or 
severe injury or death will result. 

AVERTISSEMENT: 

La haute 

pression générée par ces machines causera des 
lésions corporelles ou des dommages à 
l'équipement.
Se tenir à l'écart de la buse. Faire preuve de 
prudence lors de l'utilisation. Ne pas décharger 
directement le jet vers des personnes ou des 
animaux, car cela risquerait de causer des 
blessures graves ou même la mort.

WARNING: Protect machine from 
freezing.

AVERTISSEMENT: Protéger la 
machine contre le gel.

11. To keep machine in best 

operating conditions, it is
