STARTING (FIG. 7–10)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the pressure washer instruction
manual and the engine instruction manual before starting pressure washer.
DANGER: Risk of fluid injection and laceration. When using the high
pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact
with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury will
occur.
• Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician
immediately!
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in
minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a
poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you
do not smell engine exhaust.
• Breathing ex haust fumes will cause se ri ous injury or death! En gine exhaust
contains carbon mon ox ide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid en closed areas
such as ga rages, base ments, etc.
• Never op er ate unit in or near a lo ca tion occupied by humans or animals.
WARNING: Risk of Fire, Asphyxiation and Burn. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" (12.7 mm) below bottom of filler
neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before starting engine.
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or
immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with
hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
