CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Using an engine indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

carbon monoxide. This is a poison
you cannot see or smell.

EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
2. Keep children away from the equipment,
especially while it is operating.
3. Parts of the Pressure Washer, especially
exhaust system components, get very hot
during use. Stay clear of hot parts.
4.
Injection Hazard! The high pressure
water jet produced by this tool can cut
skin or cause injury to hands or eyes.
Do not allow spray to strike you and do
not spray toward people or animals. Do not spray
the tool itself or any electrical wiring/receptacle.
5. Do not carry the spray handle with your finger on
the trigger, whether engine is operating or not.
6. In case of an emergency during use, immediately
release the trigger on the spray handle, turn
the engine off and then shut off gas supply
to the engine. Do not set the spray handle
down without turning off the engine.
7. This Pressure Washer is intended for
outdoor residential use only.
8. The high pressure water flow can damage
the work surface if not used properly. Always
test the spray in an open area first.
9. When dispensing detergent, apply the detergent
to the cleaning area at low pressure only.
Detergent dispensing only works when the
spray wand is in the low-pressure position.
