Unsafe operation of your pressure
washer could lead to serious injury
or death to you or others.
The spray gun/wand is a powerful
cleaning tool that could look like a
toy to a child.
Reactive force of spray will cause
gun/wand to move, and could cause
the operator to slip or fall, or
misdirect the spray. Improper control
of gun/wand can result in injuries to
self and others.
High velocity fluid spray can cause
objects to break, propelling particles
at high speed.
Light or unsecured objects can become
hazardous projectiles.
Spray directed at electrical outlets or
switches, or objects connected to an
electrical circuit, could result in afatal
electrical shock.
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!
Relieve system pressure before
attempting maintenance or disassem-
bly of equipment.
Use of acids, toxic or corrosive
chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or
any kind of flammable solvent with this
