possible fireexplosion.
• Keep maximum fuel level
12.7 mm below bottom
of filler neck to allow
forexpansion.
• Operating the pressure
washer in an explosive
environment could result
in afire.
• Operate and fuel
equipment in well-
ventilated areas free from
obstructions. Equip areas
with fire extinguisher
suitable for petrolfires.
• Materials placed against
or near the pressure
washer can interfere with
its proper ventilation
features causing
overheating and possible
ignition of thematerials.
• Never operate pressure
washer in an area
containing dry brush
orweeds.
• Muffler exhaust heat can
damage painted surfaces,
melt any material
sensitive to heat (such
as siding, plastic, rubber,
vinyl or the pressure
hose, itself), and damage
liveplants.
• Always keep pressure
washer a minimum
of 1.2m away from
surfaces (such as houses,
automobiles or live
plants) that could be
damaged from muffler
exhaustheat.

Do not use chlorine
bleach or any other
corrosivecompound.
DANGER: RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND
LACERATION
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Your pressure washer
operates at fluid pressures
and velocities high
enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh
which could result in
amputation or other
serious injury. Leaks
caused by loose fittings or
worn or damaged hoses
can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT
FLUID INJECTION AS
A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
• Inspect the high pressure
hose regularly. Replace
the hose immediately if
it is damaged, worn, has
melted from contacting
the engine, or shows any
signs of cracks, bubbles,
pinholes, or other
leakage. Never grasp a
high pressure hose that is
leaking ordamaged.
• Never touch, grasp
or attempt to cover a
pinhole or similar water
leak on the high pressure
hose. The stream of water
IS under high pressure
and WILL penetrateskin.
• Never place hands in front
ofnozzle.
• Direct spray away from
self andothers.
