SAFETY RULES FOR PRESSURE WASHERS
WARNING:
This pressure washer produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust
can exceed 1500 F (650 C).
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. Pay attention to warning labels on the pressure washer identifying
hot parts of the machine.
Allow pressure washer to cool down after use before touching the engine or areas of the pressure
washer that become hot during operation.
CAUTION:
Misuse of this pressure washer can damage it and shorten its life.
Only use the pressure washer for its intended purposes.
Turn the engine switch to “OFF” position when the engine is not running.
The high pressure stream of water can cut through skin and cause serious injury. Do not aim the
stream of water at yourself or at any one else, including animals.
Hoses and tubes can become damaged from coming in contact with a hot engine or muffler. Always
double check the hose for perforations before starting up the machine and keep it clear of the engine
and the muffler.
Kickback from operation can cause the user to fall down. Always operate the pressure washer on a
level and non-elevated surface to prevent the risk of falling.
Always wear safety goggles to protect from possible mishaps with the stream or detergents. Always
be aware of the dangers associated with the detergents and chemicals that you are working with.
Attach all hoses before starting the engine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the WEN® Pressure
Washer that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the pressure washer.
Pressure washers vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the pressure washer, inspect
both the pressure washer as well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from
vibration. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that
show signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
