EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any
misuse of the
pressure washer or accessories, such
as overpressurizing, modifying
parts, using incompatible
chemicals and fluids, or using worn or damaged parts,
can cause them to rupture and result in fluid injection,
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or other serious
bodily
injury
, fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER
alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing
so
could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK
all spray equipment regularly and repair or
replace
worn or damaged parts immediately
.
ALWAYS
wear protective eyewear and appropriate
clothing.
If using a chemical injector
, read and follow
the
chemical manufacturer
’
s literature for recommendations
on
additional protective equipment, such as a respirator
.
System
Pressure
This sprayer can develop high operating pressures. Be
sure
that all spray equipment and accessories are rated
to withstand the maximum working pressure of this
sprayer.
DO NOT
exceed the maximum working
pressure of any component or accessory used in the
system.
Chemical Compatibility
BE
SURE
that all chemicals used in the chemical
injector
are compatible with the wetted parts of the hose, gun,
wand
and tip, as given in the T
echnical Data (inside back
cover). Always read the chemical manufacturer ’s
literature before using any chemical in this pressure
washer.
HOSE SAFETY
High
pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If
the
hose develops a leak, split or
rupture due to any kind
of wear, damage or misuse, the high pressure spray
emitted from it can cause a fluid injection injury or other
serious bodily injury or property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HA VE STRAIN RELIEFS
ON
BOTH ENDS.
The strain
reliefs help protect the hose
from kinks or bends at or close to the coupling, which can
result
in hose rupture.
TIGHTEN
all fluid connections securely before each use.
High
pressure fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow
high
pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling.
NEVER
use a damaged hose. Before each use, check
entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover , or
damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of
these
conditions exist, replace the
hose immediately
.
DO
NOT
try to recouple high pressure hose or mend it with
tape
or any
other device. A repaired hose cannot contain
the
high pressure fluid.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULL Y.
Do not
pull on hoses to move the pressure washer. Do not use
chemicals which are not compatible with the inner tube
and cover of the hose.
DO NOT
expose Graco hose to
temperatures
above 200
_ F
(93
_ C)
or below –40
_ F
(–40_ C).
FUEL AND EMISSION HAZARDS
NEVER
fill the fuel tank while the unit is running or hot.
The
fuel used in this unit is combustible and when spilled
on
a hot surface can ignite and cause a fire.
ALWAYS
fill
tank
slowly to avoid spilling.
NEVER
operate the unit in a closed building. The exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless,
invisible gas which can cause serious injury or death if
inhaled.
NEVER
alter the throttle setting, which is factory set.
Tampering with this adjustment can damage the
pressure
washer and will void the warranty
.
IMPORTANT
United
States Government safety standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. These
standards—particularly the General Standards, Part 1910, and the Construction Standards, Part 1926—should be
consulted.
