USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING. Injection hazard. Fully
unwrap and straighten high pressure
hose prior to and during each use and
do not allow it to become kinked. The
high pressure hose features an outer
covering that provides strength to the
hose. If the outer covering becomes
damaged, stop using the hose and
replace it immediately. A kinked or
damaged hose can develop a high
pressure leak and result in a possible
injection or other serious personal injury.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
Inspect the hose before every use.
Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.
Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
Keep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp
edges.
Do not pull unit by high pressure hose.
Do not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped
around objects.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
Do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines,
bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions, which can damage the
pump or cause property damage.
We recommend the use of a good quality pressure
washer detergent for use with this pressure
washer. Please follow the instructions on the
container.
Most automobile detergents are a combination of a
detergent and a wax solution, (wash/wax liquid).
These tend to be a thick viscous liquid. The
viscosity (thickness) of the detergent will increase
in cold weather. It is recommended that this type of
detergent is diluted with warm water before filling
the container.
