WARNING
Do not attempt to modify the pressure
washer in any way; this will VOID your warranty.
The use of any attachment or accessory other than
those recommended in this instruction manual
could result in damage to the pressure washer and
could cause injuries to the operator.
This petrol pressure washer complies with
Australian / New Zealand and International
standards and safety requirements. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using
original spare parts. Failure to do so may result in
considerable danger to the operator.
CLEANING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Always stop your pressure washer before you commence
cleaning. Always ensure that your pressure washer has
cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning and storing.
When cleaning your pressure washer use only a damp
soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or solvents of any type. All
areas can be wiped down, once cooled.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to
appliance being cleaned. Always trial test the pressure
washer on an inconspicuous part of the appliance.
Beware poor paint and rust as the water will lift poor
paint and cause rust spots to grow. Damage caused by
pressure washer is not covered by warranty.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors
should be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care
should be taken when the floor is slippery due to water
and detergent. Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5
metres between the pressure washer and bystanders. As
this pressure washer uses a petrol engine, only run the
pressure washer outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any
adjusting keys or wrenches have been removed from the
pressure washer before operating.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the pressure washer it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them
replaced or repaired at an authorised service facility.
Check any other condition that may affect the operation
of the pressure washer. A guard or any other part of the
pressure washer that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must be
replaced by an authorised service facility.
DO NOT use the pressure washer if the ‘ON / OFF’ motor
switch does not turn the pressure washer ‘ON’ and
‘OFF’.

worn when filling pressure washer with fuel.

Where there is the risk of heavy objects or if there is a
risk of slipping on wet or slippery floors, suitable non–
