DO NOT SMOKE.
3. Do not run power washers in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. Breathing exhaust gases can cause serious illness or death.
4. Do not touch or come in contact with hot mufflers, cylinders, cooling fins or hot exhaust gases
as this may result in severe burns.
5. Never tamper with governor spring, governor links or other components which may increase
the speed (RPM) of the engine.
6. Do not operate pressure cleaners in the presence of flammable vapors or gases. When
servicing pressure cleaning equipment, be sure to properly dispose of any flammable materials.
7. Do not make adjustments to your equipment without first removing the spark plug.
8. When transporting pressure cleaners, the fuel shut-off valves must be in the closed position,
to prevent fuel from spilling out.

ISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Check all high-pressure hose and fittings periodically for cuts or wear. Immediately replace all
suspect components to prevent injury. Do not place high pressure hose on the engine muffler or
drag across abrasive surfaces.
2. Inspect pressure cleaner for oil, fuel and/or water leaks.
3. Operate unit on level surface only. Otherwise fuel may spill on engine and/or pump.
Lubrication may be insufficient if unit is not level.
4. Never start power washers without adequate water supply.
5. HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY Never point or aim the gun/wand at
yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand, fingers or body directly in front of the spray nozzle.
6. Do not run the unit for longer than 3 minutes with spray gun in the closed position.
7. Clean up spilled soap, fuel or oil immediately to avoid falls.
8. Keep clutter out of work area to avoid falls.
9. Never squeeze the spray gun trigger unless you are securely braced. The force of water
through the nozzle is powerful enough to cause you to lose your balance and fall.
10. Never attempt to use power washers on or near any electrical outlets, fuse boxes,
transformers, high voltage wires, etc. Severe electrical shock or death may occur.
11. Do not use the appliance if important parts of appliance are damaged, e.g. safety devices,
high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
12. Only use genuine pressure cleaning equipment parts (e.g.: High pressure hoses, fittings and
couplings etc.) for any and all repairs of your pressure cleaner. Failure to do so may result in
injury or cause hazardous operating conditions to exist.
