WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Your pressure washer operates at fluid pres-
sures 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.
• Injuries can result if system pressure is not
reduced before attempting maintenance or
disassembly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• High velocity fluid spray can cause objects to
break, propelling particles at high speed.
• Light or unsecured objects can become haz-
ardous projectiles.
RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Inspect the high-pressure hose regularly. Re-
place the hose immediately if it is damaged,
worn, has melted from contacting the engine,
or shows any signs of cracks, bubbles, pin-
holes, or other leakage. Never grasp a high-
pressure hose that is leaking or damaged.
•
Never touch, grasp, or attempt to cover a
pinhole or similar water leak on the high pres-
sure hose. The stream of water IS under high
pressure and WILL penetrate skin.
Never place hands in front of nozzle.
•
Direct spray away from self and others.
•
•
Make sure hose and fittings are tightened and
in good condition. Never hold onto the hose
or fittings during operation.
Do not allow the high pressure hose to contact
•
the muffler.
• Never attach or remove wand or hose fittings
while system is pressurized - squeeze trigger
gun (when engine is off) to relieve pressure in
the system.
• To relieve system pressure, shut off engine,
turn off water supply and pull gun trigger until
water stops flowing.
• Use only hoses and accessories rated
for pressure higher than your pressure
washer's PSI.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always wear ANSI-approved Z87.1 safety
glasses. Wear protective clothing to protect
against accidental spraying.
•
Never point wand at, or spray people or ani-
mals.
Always secure trigger lock when wand is not in
•
service to prevent accidental operation.
•
Never permanently secure trigger in pull-back
(open) position.
