The high pressure spray from your pressure washer is 

capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, 

glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as 

flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure 

yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray.

TO USE SPRAY WAND

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in nozzle holder on the panel 

assembly.  Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. See 

chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT

 allow the high 

pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or 

with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate 

human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. 

Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection 

injuries. 

DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician 

immediately!

NEVER 

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke 

when filling fuel tank.

NEVER 

fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to 

provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment 

before starting engine.

NEVER

 run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust 

contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT

 let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or 

immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with 

hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

NEVER

 pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This 

could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT 

use hot water, use cold water only.

NEVER

 turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to 

pump will result.

DO NOT 

stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in 

bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode 

for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions, please call 

1-888-559-8550

 to speak 

to a service representative for further instructions.
