oil.
Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain
laboratory animals.

WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and
squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time
you stop engine.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers,
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
