only trained operators sHould use tHis product.  wHen 

operating tHis unit, basic precautions sHould always be 

observed including tHe following:

.  KEEP AWAY FROM ThE SPRAY:

a.  Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can 

penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

b.  Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else.  Never put your hand, 

fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle.  Always keep operating 

area clear of all persons.  Use 

extreme

 caution when operating near 

children.

c.  If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated 

the  skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE.  DO NOT TREAT 
AS A SIMPLE CUT.  If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to 
tell a physician exactly what kind.

2.  ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the 

eyes from flying debris and detergents.  Other protective equipment such 

as  rubber  suits,  gloves  and  respirators  are  advisable,  especially  when 
using cleaning detergents.  Use 

extreme

 caution when operating near 

children.

3.  Stay alert-watch what you are doing.  Do not operate the unit when fatigued 

or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4.  NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced.  The thrust from the 

water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the 
operator to lose balance if unprepared.  DO NOT overreach or stand on 
unstable support.  Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear 
and keep good footing and balance at all times.  NEVER trigger the gun 
while on a ladder or roof.

5.  Caution  should  be  used  when  directing  spray  toward  fragile  materials 

such as glass.  Shattering could result in serious injury.

6.  ALWAYS  hold  on  firmly  to  the  gun/wand  assembly  when  starting  and 

operating the unit.  Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip 
dangerously.  NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open 
position.    To  prevent  accidental  discharge,  the  trigger  gun  should  be 
securely locked when not in use.

7.  DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind!  This 

includes  electrical  outlets,  light  bulbs,  fuse  boxes,  transformers,    etc.  
Severe electrical shock may occur.

8.  Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the 

pump, hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun.  Before 

removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit 
and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure.
