EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION

Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your pressure washer. Know its applications,
its limitations and any hazards involved.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, Snapper
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the
product and this document at any time without prior notice.

SAFETY RULES

The safety alert symbol (

) is used with a signal word

(DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING), a pictorial and/or a
safety message to alert you to hazards. DANGER
indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury. WARNING indicates a hazard which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might
result in minor or moderate injury. CAUTION, when
used without the alert symbol, indicates a situation that
could result in equipment damage. Follow safety messages
to avoid or reduce the risk of injury or death.

The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester,
it must be maintained in effective working order.

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 gasoline 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

gasoline 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 GASOLINE 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 gasoline vapors.

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

WARNING

• Keep water spray away from electric wiring or fatal electric

shock may result.

Spray contact with electrical wiring can result in
electrocution.

WARNING

• Never aim the spray gun at people, animals or plants.

• Do not allow CHILDREN to operate the pressure washer.

• Never repair high pressure hose. Replace it.

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