Check
High Pressure
Hose
High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse, tnspect hose before each use.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
WARNING

that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
o NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
Replacement hose rating MUST equal or exceed
maximum pressure rating of unit.
Check
