Important Safety Rules

1.) Read owner's manual completely.

Serious injury or death can result if safety instructions are not followed. You must be

16 or older to operate this machine. Keep untrained people away.

2.) Skin puncture hazard.

High pressure fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious injury including

amputation. Do not direct spray at people or animals.

-If skin injection happens, seek IMMEDIATE surgical treatment.

-Do not check for leaks with hand. Instead, use a piece of cardboard to check for

leaks.

-Do not use unit if exterior hose damage is evident. Make sure all fittings are tight

before starting. Relieve system pressure before servicing.

-Know how to stop engine and bleed pressures quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with

the controls.

-Make sure accessories meet the unit's temperature and pressure limits.

-Stop engine, bleed pressure, and engage spray gun safety lock before leaving unit

unattended.

3.) Risk of fire and explosion.

Hot exhaust fumes from engine can cause fire. Gasoline is highly flammable and

explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

-Position muffler at least 7 feet from combustible objects.

-Before adding fuel, stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Do not

add fuel when engine is running or still hot. No smoking near engine.

-Do not pump fuel directly into engine at gas station. Static charge can build and

ignite fuel. Use a UL approved fuel container to transfer gas to the engine. Wipe up

fuel spills immediately.

-Only store and handle fuel outdoors. Gasoline vapors can ignite if they collect

inside an enclosure. Explosion can result.

-Do not change or add to exhaust system. Fire can result.

-Do not change or add fuel tanks or fuel lines. Fire can result.

-Before each use, check fuel tank and fuel lines for leaks. Any fuel leak is a fire

hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before starting engine.

-During transportation take precautions to make sure pressure washer will not tip

over and cause a fuel leak fire hazard.

4.) Poisonous gas.

This machine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You

CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.

-ONLY run machine outdoors and away from air intakes.

-NEVER run machine inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spaces.

These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and

windows.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this machine, shut it off and get to

fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

6.) Risk of electrocution.

Electricity can kill you. Keep water away from electrical outlets and electrical

devices.

7.) Flying objects.

Small particles may fly out while spraying. Wear safety glasses. Serious eye

injury can occur.

Make sure nozzle is secure before squeezing trigger. If nozzle is not secure it

will become a projectile.

Operation Instructions

Water Supply

1.) Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can cause excess pump wear and reduce

performance.

2.) An insufficient water supply will damage your pump. Make sure the water supply is steady and is

20% over the rated flow of your pump. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon

bucket with your garden hose. The bucket must fill faster than the times listed in the table below.

3.) The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is more

than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4”.

4.) Never use a reservoir tank as a water source. Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump

cavitation and damage to your pump. This pressure washer is designed for a pressurized water

source such as a city water faucet. However, the water source pressure must not exceed 115 psi

(8 bar).

5.) Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply. Do not use rigid piping.

6.) Always keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.
