• Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing hazard. Se ri-
ous in ju ry or death can re sult. Fuel or oil
leaks will dam age carpet, paint or oth er
surfaces in ve hi cles or trailers.
• Oil could fill the cylinder and damage
the engine if the unit is not stored or
transported in an upright position.
• If pressure washer is equipped with
a fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve to
the OFF position before transporting
to avoid fuel leaks. If pres sure wash er
is not equipped with a fuel shut-off
valve, drain the fuel from tank before
trans port ing. Only trans port fuel in an
OSHA-approved container.
Al ways place pressure washer on a
protective mat when transporting to
protect against dam age to vehicle

•
Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use and
while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall
for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE:
Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate tires
can fill small tires similar to these very
rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on
air supply to no more than the rating
of the tire pressure. Add air in small
increments and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over inflation.
• High-velocity fluid spray directed at
pneumatic tire sidewalls (such as found
on automobiles, trailers and the like)
could damage the sidewall resulting in
serious injury.
• On pressure washers rated above
1600 psi (11032 kPa) use the widest
fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep the
spray a minimum of 8" (20 cm) from
the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do not
aim spray directly at the joint between
the tire and rim.
