Safety
4 OneWASH™ Power Washer
Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area
through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other
openings. Warn any occupants inside about the symp-
toms of carbon monoxide so they know to move to
fresh air if they begin to feel ill.
The use of a carbon monoxide detector inside any
occupied premises between the power washer and the
occupant is recommended.
NEVER start or run engine indoors, in a vehicle, or in
an enclosed area, even if windows and doors are open.
Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance
that harmful gas or vapors may be inhaled.
Read all instructions with respirator or mask so you are
certain the respirator or mask will provide the neces-
sary protection against inhaling harmful gas or vapors.
If you begin to experience any of the CO symptoms
listed above, IMMEDIATELY move to fresh air.
2.1.2 — Fluid Injection Hazard
NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or
electrical devices. Serious injury or death will
result. ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direc-
tion, squeeze spray gun trigger to release
high pressure, every time you stop engine.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying tis-
sues, leading to serious injury, possible amputation or
death. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.

play nearby. This is NOT a toy.
NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any
kind. Replace o-ring or seal.
NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle exten-
sion.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and
spray gun while system is pressurized.
NEVER secure spray gun in open position.
NEVER 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.

Risk of electrocution.
Contact with power source can cause electric
shock or burn.
NEVER spray near power source.
2.1.4 — Hot Surfaces Hazard
Contact with muffler area can result in

est-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 jurisdic-
tions may have similar laws. Contact the original equip-
ment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark
arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on
this engine.

the same position as the original parts.
