OneWASH™ Power Washer 5
2.1.5 — Fire Hazards
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flam-
mable and explosive. Fire or explosion
can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
Turn power washer OFF and let it cool at least two (2)
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly
to relieve pressure in tank.
Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner
are in place.
DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which
causes fuel to spill.
DO NOT spray flammable liquids.
WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
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.
2.1.6 — Hearing Protection Hazard
Hearing Protection Recommended.
2.1.7 — Fall Hazard
Use of power washer can create pud-
dles and slippery surfaces. Kickback
from spray gun can cause you to fall.
Use only on a level surface.
The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and
drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to slip-
pery surfaces.
Do not use on elevated surfaces where chance of kick-
back could result in a serious fall.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using
high pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun
kicks back.
2.1.8 — Moving Parts Hazard
Starter and other rotating parts can entangle
hands, hair, clothing, or accessories.
NEVER operate power washer without protective
housing or covers.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
2.1.9 — Kickback Hazard
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can
result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand
and arm toward engine faster than you can
let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or
sprains could result.
NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray
gun pressure.
To relieve trapped pressure, point gun in safe direction
and release pressure by pulling/actuating trigger on
spray gun.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance
is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run,
always point spray gun in safe direction, and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using
high pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun
kicks back.
