DANGER: RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
What can happen How to prevent it
• Yourpressure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!
• Inspectthehigh-pressure
hose regularly. Replace
the hose immediately if it is
damaged, worn, has melted
from contacting the engine,

bubbles, pinholes, or other
leakage. Never grasp a
high-pressure hose that
is leaking or damaged.
• Nevertouch,grasporattempt
