Additional Safety Instructions for Pressure
Washers
6. CHANGING NOZZLES. Be sure to release
water pressure before changing nozzles, or
performing any service or maintenance, to
reduce the risk of fluid injection injury.
7. APPROVED FLUIDS. Some cleaning
fluids could cause injury to skin, eyes, or
lungs. Use only cleaning fluids approved
for high pressure washers and follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. Never
spray any corrosive chemicals, poisons,
insecticides, or flammable solvents with
this machine.
8. HOLDING SPRAY GUN. The reactive
force of the spray will cause the gun to
move, and could cause the operator to
fall or misdirect the spray. Always stand in
a stable position, grip the gun firmly with
both hands, and do not overreach. Use
extreme caution on roofs and ladders and
always wear appropriate harnesses and
safety equipment.
9. SLIPPING HAZARDS. The use of pressure
washers can create puddles and other
slippery surfaces. Use extreme caution on
these surfaces to reduce the risk of a fall.
1.
FLUID INJECTION. This machine operates
at fluid pressures and velocities high
enough to penetrate human and animal
flesh. Should such an injury occur, it may
be a surgical emergency. DO NOT treat
fluid injection as a normal cut, instead, see
a physician immediately.
2. ADEQUATE VENTILATION. During
operation this machine produces carbon
monoxide, which is a poisonous gas. Make
sure the work area is adequately ventilated.
Never operate this machine indoors.
3. COOLING ENGINE. Motor parts get hot
during operation. Allow to cool before
placing hands near motor, adding fuel, or
performing any service or maintenance.
4. FUEL SPILLS. Fuel exposed to hot engine
components may ignite. Thoroughly clean
all fuel spills before starting.
5. ELECTRICAL OVERSPRAY HAZARD.
Spraying water near electrical outlets,
switches, or objects connected to an
electrical circuit, could result in a fatal
electric shock.

Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury, damage to equipment, or
poor work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the
possibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
