HAZARD 

WHAT CAN HAPPEN 

HOW TO PREVENT IT 

 

 

Unsafe  operation  of  your  pressure 

 

washer  could  lead  to  serious  injury  or 

 

death to you or others. 

 

The  spray  gun/wand  is  a  powerful 

 

cleaning  tool  that  could  look  like  a  toy 

 

to a child. 

 

Reactive  force  of  spray  will  cause 

 

gun/wand  to  move  and  could  cause  the 

 

operator  to  slip  or  fall,  or  misdirect  the 

 

spray.  Improper  control  of  gun/wand 

 

can result in injuries to self and others. 

 

Become  familiar  with  the  operation 

 

and controls of the pressure washer. 

 

Keep  children  away  from  the  pressure 

 

washer at all times. 

 

Never  attempt  to  defeat  the  safety 

 

features of this product. 

 

Do  not  operate  machine  with  missing, 

 

broken, or unauthorized parts. 

 

Never  leave  wand  unattended  while 

 

unit is running. 

 

Keep work area free of obstacles. 

 

Stand  on  a  stable  surface  and  grip 

 

gun/wand  firmly.  Expect  the  gun  to 

 

kick when triggered. 

 

 

 

Spray  directed  at  electrical  outlets  or 

 

switches,  or  objects  connected  to  an 

 

electrical  circuit,  could  result  in  a  fatal 

 

electrical shock. 

 

Unplug 

any 

electrically 

operated 

 

product  before  attempting  to  clean  it. 

 

Direct  spray  away  from  electric  outlets 

 

and switches. 

 

 

 

 

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! 

 

Spray  can  splash  black  or  propel 

objects. 

 

Never place hands in front of nozzle. 

 

Direct spray away from self and others. 

 

Never hold onto the hose or fittings   

 

Do not allow hose to contact muffler. 

 

Never  attach  or  remove  wand  or  hose 

 

fittings while system is pressurized. 

 

Use  only  hose  and  high  pressure 

 

accessories  rated  for  pressure  higher 

 

than your pressure washer’s psi. 

 

To  relieve  system  pressure,  shut  off 

 

engine,  turn  off  water  supply,  and  pull 

 

gun trigger until water stops flowing. 

 

Always wear eye protection   

 

Never  attempt  to  drink  from  the  high 

 

pressure lance. 

 

Always  be  certain  spray  gun,  nozzles 

and accessories are correctly attached. 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Use  of  acids,  toxic  or  corrosive 

 

chemicals,  poisons,  insecticides,  or  any 

 

kind  of  flammable  solvent  with  this 

 

product could result in serious injury or 

 

death.   

 

Do  not  use  acids,  gasoline,  kerosene, 

 

or  any  other  flammable  materials  in 

 

this  product.  Use  only  household 

 

detergents,  cleaners  and  degreasers 

 

recommended  for  use  in  pressure 

 

washers. 

 

Wear  protective  clothing  to  protect 

 

eyes  and  skin  from  contact  with 

 

sprayed chemicals.
