removed from the spark plug(s). Turning the machinery over by hand during adjustment or cleaning
might start the engine and machinery with it.

Serious injury or death may occur if attempting to start the pressure washer when the
pumping system is frozen.

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 can occur from loose debris being propelled at a high speed from the spray
gun.
Injury may occur if the operator loses their balance caused by the thrust of water traveling
through the spray nozzle.
