8. High pressure developed by these machines will cause
personal injury or equipment damage. Use caution
when operating. Do not direct discharge stream at
people, or severe injury or death will result.
WARNING: High pressure spray
can cause paint chips or other
particles to become airborne and
fly at high speeds.
9. Eye safety devices, safety
clothing and foot protection
must be worn when using this
equipment.
10. Never make adjustments on
machine while it is in operation.
WARNING: Spray gun kicks back. Hold with both
hands.
11. Grip cleaning wand securely with both hands before
starting the cleaner. Failure to do this could result in
injury from a whipping wand.
12. Machines with spray gun should not be operated with
the spray gun in the off position for extensive peri-
ods of time as this may cause damage to the pump.
13. The best insurance against an accident is precau-
tion and knowledge of the machine.
14. TUFF will not be liable for any changes made to our
standard machines, or any components not pur-
chased from TUFF.
WARNING: Keep wand, hose and
water spray away from electrical
wiring or fatal electric shock may
result.
15. Read engine safety instructions
provided.
16. Never run pump dry or leave
spray gun closed longer than 5
minutes.
17. Inlet water must be cold and clean fresh water.
18. Use No. 1 or No. 2 Heating Oil (ASTM D306) only.
NEVER use gasoline in your fuel oil tank. Gasoline
is more combustible than fuel oil and could result in
a serious explosion. NEVER use crankcase or waste
oil in your burner. Fuel unit malfunction could result
from contamination.
19. Do not confuse gasoline and fuel oil tanks. Keep
proper fuel in proper tank.
20. Protect machine from freezing.
21. Be certain all quick coupler fittings are secured be-
fore using pressure washer.
22. Do not allow acids, caustic, or abrasive fluids to pass
through the pump.
23. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is nec-
essary when a product is used near children. Do not
allow children to operate the pressure washer. This
machine must be attended during operation.
24. Do not operate this product when fatigued or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Keep operating area
clear of all persons.
25. Protect discharge hose from vehicle traffic and sharp
objects. Inspect condition of high pressure hose be-
fore using or bodily injury may result.
26. Before disconnecting discharge hose from water out-
let, turn burner off and open spray gun to allow wa-
ter to cool below 100°F before stopping the machine.
Then open the spray gun to relieve pressure. Failure
to properly cool down or maintain the heating coil
may result in a steam explosion.
27. TUFF will not be liable for any changes made to our
standard machines or any components not pur-
chased from TUFF.
28. Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
good footing and balance at all times.
29. This machine must be attended during operation.
30. CAUTION: Risk of injury. Disconnect battery
ground terminal before servicing.
