Safety Rules for
Operation
Before starting the pressure washer, review the following general safety rules for operation:
CONDITIONS FOR USE
Know how to stop.
Be thoroughly familiar with proper use of the equipment and all controls and connections. Know how
to stop the pressure washer and depressurize system quickly if needed (see "Step 4. Stopping").
Instruct all operators
. The pressure washer's owner must instruct all operators and potential renters in safe set-up and
operation. Do not allow anyone to operate the pressure washer who has not read the owner's manual and been instructed
on its safe use.
Adult control only
. Only trained adults should set up and operate the pressure washer. Do not let children operate.
Pressure washers can generate forces greater-than children can control and require judgment beyond what can be
expected of children.
Under the influence.
Never operate, or let anyone else operate, the pressure washer while fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Safety equipment / controls in place
. Do not operate the pressure washer unless all safety covers, guards, and barriers
are in place and in good working order, and all controls are properly adjusted for safe operation.
Damaged
. Do not operate the pressure washer with damaged, missing, or broken parts. Never attempt to repair a high-
pressure hose or component. Always replace it with a part that is rated at or above the pressure rating of the machine.
Modifications
. Do not modify the pressure washer in any way or deactivate any safety device. Do not change or add to
fuel tank, fuel lines, or exhaust system. Modifications can result in hazards related to carbon monoxide poisoning, fuel
leaks, fire, explosion, or other serious safety hazards, and will also void the warranty.
