WARNING
Serious injury may occur from a pressure washer
malfunction or exploding accessories if incorrect
system components, attachments or accessories are
used.
Serious injury or death may occur if attempting to start
the pressure washer when the pumping system is
frozen.
• Never make adjustments to the factory set pressures.
• Never exceed manufacturers maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments.
• Do not allow any hoses to make contact with heat exchanger to
prevent the possibility of bursting. Avoid dragging the hoses over
abrasive surfaces such as cement.
• Use only manufacturer recommended repair parts for your pressure
washer.
• In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to
ensure there is no ice formation in the pump. Do not start the pressure
washer if it has been transported in an open or under heated vehicle
without first allowing the pump to thaw.
WARNING
Serious injury may occur to the operator from moving
parts on the pressure washer.
• Never make adjustments to the unit while it is connected to the power
source.
• Do not operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
• Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the manual.
WARNING
Serious injury may occur from touching the heat ex-
changer. This area can remain hot for some time after
the pressure washer is shutdown.
• Never allow any part of your body to contact the heat exchanger.
• Do not leave unit unattended after shutdown until it is completely
cooled down as described in the “SHUTDOWN” procedures listed on
page 25 of this manual.
