• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal electric

shock may result.

Spray contact with electrical wiring can result in
electrocution.

WARNING

• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that

vapors may be inhaled.

• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will

provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if
inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea,
fainting or poisoning.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.

DANGER

• Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning

surface.

• Operate this unit on a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to

reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from

a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
High pressure spray could cause you to fall if
you are too close to the cleaning surface.

WARNING

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes

before removing gas cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT

• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel

to spill.

• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.

WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT

• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff

valve OFF.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL
IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes

dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.

WARNING

• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun

while system is pressurized.

The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
