WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
• Materials placed against or near the pres-
sure washer can interfere with proper
ventilation causing overheating and may
ignite materials.
• Never operate pressure washer in an
area containing dry brush, weeds, or any
flammable containers or materials.
• Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted
surfaces, melt any material sensitive to
heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, or
vinyl), and damage live plants.
• Always keep pressure washer a minimum
of 4' away from surfaces (such as houses,
auto-mobiles, or live plants) that could be
damaged from muffler exhaust heat.
• Improperly stored fuel may ignite. Fuel
improperly secured could get into the
hands of children or other unqualified
persons.
• Store fuel in an OSHA approved container,
in a secure location away from work area.
• Use of acids, toxic or corrosive detergent/
cleaning solutions, poisons, insecticides,
or any kind of flammable solvent with this
product could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not spray flammable liquids.
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause
serious injury or death!
• Operate pressure washer in a well
ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas such
as garages, basements, etc.
• Never operate unit in a location occupied
by humans or animals.
• Some cleaning fluids contain substances
which could cause injury to skin, eyes, or
lungs.
• Use only cleaning fluids and detergents
specifically recommended for high
pressure washers. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations. Do not use chlorine
bleach or any other corrosive compound.
• Your washer operates at fluid pressures
and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could
result in amputation or other serious
injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or
worn or damaged hoses can result in
injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID
INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
• Never place hands in front of nozzle.
• Direct spray away from self and others.
• Make sure hose and fittings are tightened
and in good condition. Never hold onto
the hose or fittings during operation.
• Do not allow hose to contact muffler.
• Never attach or remove wand or hose
fittings while system is pressurized.
• Injuries can result if system pressure
is not reduced before attempting
maintenance or disassembly.
• To relieve system pressure, shut off
engine, turn off water supply, and pull gun
trigger until water stops flowing.
• Use only hoses and accessories rated
for pressure higher than your pressure
washer's PSI.
