PLAN AHEAD
1. Always wear ear and eye protection and/or face shield to prevent debris from flying into eyes and face which
could result in serious injury.
2. Dress with appropriate clothes safety boots, safety gloves, safety helmets with visors, and etc. Other protective
equipment is advisable when using chemicals, cleaning detergents or other corrosive or abrasive substances.
3. Do not operate pressure washing equipment if you have consumed alcohol or taken medication.
4. Keep pets, children and bystanders at a safe distance away from your work area. A minimum of 50 feet.
5. Do not spray directly glass or fragile objects.
6. CAUTION after turning off your pressure washer and water supply, there is still high pressure water trapped in
the system. You must release the pressure by triggering the gun after the engine has completely stopped.
PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE ENGINE
1. Follow all safety precautions, operating procedures and maintenance listed in your engine operator’s manual
which came with the pressure cleaner.
2. DO NOT fill the engine with gasoline when the engine is running, hot or near an open flame. DO NOT SMOKE.
3. Do Not run power washers in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing exhaust gases can cause serious illness or death.
4. Do Not touch or come in contact with hot mufflers, cylinders, cooling fins or hot exhaust gases as this may
result in severe burns.
5. Never tamper with governor spring, governor links or other components which may increase the speed (RPM)
of the engine.
6. Do Not operate in the presence of flammable vapors or gases. When servicing equipment, be sure to properly
dispose of any flammable materials.
7. Do Not make adjustments to your equipment without first removing the spark plug.
8. When transporting, the fuel shut-off valves must be in the closed position, to prevent fuel from spilling out.
MISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Check all high pressure hoses and fittings periodically for cuts or wear. Immediately replace all worn or damaged
components to prevent injury. Do not place high pressure hose on the engine muffler.
2. Inspect pressure cleaner for oil, fuel and/or water leaks.
3. Operate unit on level surface only.
4. Never start power washers without adequate water supply.
5. HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY Never point or aim the gun/wand at yourself or anyone
else. Never put your hand, fingers or body directly in front of the spray nozzle.
