■ Do not use the product if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any product that cannot
be controlled with a switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
■ Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm when
cleaning vehicles. The high-pressure jet
may damage or burst vehicle tires and/or
tire valves.
■ Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area)
and muffler side of the engine at least 1 m
(3 ft.) away from buildings, obstructions,
and other combustible objects.
■ Keep the engine away from flammables
and other hazardous materials.

other engine parts become very hot. Use
the product with caution.
■ Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign
objects.
■ Do not touch the spark plug and the ignition
cable when starting and operating the
engine.
■ Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep
the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting. Avoid dangerous
environments.
FUEL AND REFUELLING
■ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
■ Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
■ If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this
outdoors.
■ To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle the fuel with care. It is highly
flammable.
■ Do not smoke while handling fuel.
■ Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release
pressure and to keep the fuel from escaping
around the cap.
■ Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely.
■ Wipe spilled fuel from the product. Move 9
m (30 feet) away from refuelling site before
starting engine.
■ If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine. Move the product away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until fuel vapours have
dissipated.
■ Store fuel in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated
area, safely away from spark and/or
flame-producing equipment. Store fuel in
containers specifically designed for this
purpose.
■ After stopping the engine, always pull the
trigger on the trigger handle to relieve
stored pressure in the high-pressure hose.
Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
