®
Detergent and all detergent labels. Follow all
appropriate instructions regarding preparation use, safety and transportation.

MISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR ADOLESCENTS TO OPERATE THIS UNIT!
2.
Read and follow all handling, operations, maintenance and safety instructions
listed in this manual and the Engine Operator's manual that accompanies this unit,
and provide such information to ANYONE who will be operating this unit.
3.
In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to ensure there
is no ice formation in the pump. DO NOT start this unit if it has been transported
in an open or underheated vehicle without first allowing the pump to thaw.
4.
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 the detergents into the water supply. (Direct connection is
permitted if a back flow preventer is installed.)
5.
DO NOT allow any part of your body or the high pressure hose to make contact
with the muffler. Avoid dragging the hose over an abrasive surface such as cement.
This causes wear and eventual rupturing.
6.
High pressure hoses should be inspected daily for signs of wear. If evidence
of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses to prevent the possibility of
injury from the high pressure spray. If a hose or fitting is leaking , NEVER place
your hand directly on the leak.
7.
DO NOT operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
8.
NEVER run the unit with the governor disconnected or operate at excessive
speeds.
9.
To reduce the risk of injury, maintain a safe distance for persons while operating
this unit. Close supervision is necessary when operating the unit near children.
10. DO NOT leave pressurized unit unattended. Shut off the unit and release
trapped pressure before leaving.
11. DO NOT move the unit by pulling on the hose.
