NOTE:
Your pressure washer will not start without engine oil or the
water supply connected and turned on. If the engine does not
start look for the fault indicator light display on the control
panel.
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.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate power washer or play nearby.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while
system is pressurized.
• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or electrical devices.
Serious injury will result.
• DO NOT secure spray gun in open position.
• DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is running.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or
trigger guard in place and in working order.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are
correctly attached.
Contact with muffler area can result in serious
burns. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of power
washer including overhead.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442,
to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered,
or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with
a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective
working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have
similar laws.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same
position as the original parts.
AUTOMATIC COOL DOWN SYSTEM (THERMAL
RELIEF)
If you run the engine on your power washer for 3-5 minutes
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach temperatures above 125°F. The system
engages to cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.
