Read all the instructions before using the product.
•
•
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when product is used near children.
•
Know how to stop the product and bleed pressures
quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
•
Stay alert- watch what you are doing.
•
Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
good footing and balance at all times.
•
Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the
manual.
•
WARNING- Risk of injection or injury to persons-
DO NOT direct discharge stream at persons.
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors in a
heated environment to prevent the water in the unit
from freezing and expanding. When the water freezes
and expands, the high-pressure pump will crack
and render the pressure washer inoperable. It is
recommended you use pump saver (not included) to
protect pumps from freezing and cracking.
•
NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will
overheat and damage the seals and components in the
high-pressure pump that cannot be repaired.
•
NEVER leave the power washer "ON" while it is
unattended.
•
ALWAYS turn the water supply "ON " before turning
the power washer power to "ON". Running the
pump dry of water will cause damage to the internal
components and render the pressure washer
inoperable.
NEVER use a water supply to your power washer that
•
exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
•
NEVER disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power washer while the system is pressurized.
•
NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanisms
on the spray gun.
•
NEVER operate the power washer unless all
components are properly and securely connected.
•
NEVER allow the power washer pump to run for
more than one minute after you have turned off the
water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to
overheat and fail.
•
NEVER use an extension power cord since it causes
voltage drop and can burn the motor. It also increases
risk of electric shock to the operator.
NEVER use lances or other parts that are not
•
compatible for this specific Powerplay unit.
•
NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power
washer.
•
Inspect the power cord before using. DO NOT use it if
it is damaged.
•
Injection Hazard: Equipment can cause serious
injury if the spray penetrates the skin. DO NOT point
the gun at anyone or any part of the body. In case of
penetration seek medical aid immediately.
•
This system is capable of producing 13,000 kPa. To
avoid rupture and injury DO NOT operate this pump
with components rated less than 13,000 kPa working
pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose,
and hose connections).
Before servicing, cleaning, or removal of any part, shut
•
off power and relieve pressure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground. Do no touch
plug with wet hands.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-
insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
product must be identical to the parts they replace.
A double-insulated product is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED." The
symbol may also be marked on the product.
