PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until you have read and
understood the following safety rules. Learn the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards to
maximize your safety and the lifetime of the tool.
BEFORE OPERATION
1. KNOW YOUR TOOL. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your pressure washer. Know how to stop
the water pressure quickly by releasing the trigger, shutting off the unit and turning off the water supply.
2. USE SUITABLE COMPONENTS. This system is capable of producing pressure up to 2000 PSI/13,800 kPa.
To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate this pump with components rated less than 2000 PSI/13,800 kPa
working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hoses and hose connections).
3. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT. Keep bystanders, children and animals at a safe distance away from the
work area. Do not operate near flammable materials or explosive vapors.
4. WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. For protection against injury, wear safety goggles and ear protection. Wear
rubber-soled shoes during operation to reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. PRELIMINARY UNIT INSPECTION. Thoroughly inspect the unit and accessories prior to operation. Make
sure all the parts are secured and installed correctly. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such as
broken or cracked insulation. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Always perform a test run
the first time you use the tool or after replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning properly.
6. MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any electrical ap-
pliance that cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and must be repaired.
7. DETERGENT SAFETY. Always be aware of the dangers associated with the detergents and chemicals that
you are working with. Follow the warnings and instructions that come with your detergent for proper use.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
1. COLD WATER ONLY. Use the pressure washer with cold water only. The water supply temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°C.
2. POTABLE WATER RESTRICTIONS. When connecting the water inlet to the water supply mains, local
regulations of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit MUST NOT be connected directly
to the public drinking water supply. This is to ensure that there is no feedback of chemicals into the water supply.
If connection is made to a potable water system, the system MUST be protected against backflow. Direct connec-
tion via a receiver tank or backflow preventer, for example, is permitted.
3. AVOIDING DIRT. Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source. Dirt
in the feed water will damage the unit. Your washer is pre-installed with a water filter inside the water inlet. Inspect
and clean the filter regularly. Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint
thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
4. WATER FLOW. The garden hose must be at least 5/8 inch in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2 GPM (gallons per minute).
