SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!

LOCATION WARNINGS

n The machine must be used at or near the working area and always under trained operator
supervision.
n The machine should be located as close as possible to the water supply. We recommend using
a 50 ft garden hose.
n Locate the machine on a solid and level surface so that engine and pump crankcase oil
lubricates components properly. Avoid areas where water can build up in the working area.
Possible injury can occur caused by the surface becoming slippery from water build up.
n Locate the machine in a well ventilated area and away from flammable materials or fumes. Be
sure ventilation WARNINGS are observed. Keep pressure washer well clear of flamable materials.
n Locate the machine so the operator has easy access to the pressure washer and its controls.
n Locate the machine so that it is protected from external damage.
n To prevent damage and excessive hose wear, locate the pressure washer so that the hose does
not cross traffic areas.

GAS ENGINE PRECAUTIONS

A fire or explosion can occur resulting in personal injury if the following instructions
are not followed:
n DO NOT fill gasoline tank while engine is running. Allow engine to cool for two minutes before
refueling.
n DO NOT operate the engine when an odor of gasoline is present, or other explosive conditions
exist.
n IF GASOLINE IS SPILLED, move the machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating
any source of ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
n DO NOT store, spill, or use gasoline near an open flame, or devices such as a stove, furnace,
water heater which utilize a pilot light, or devices which can create a spark.
n REFUEL OUTDOORS preferably, or in well ventilated areas with UNLEADED GAS ONLY.
n DO NOT operate engine without muffler. Operating without a muffler, or with a muffler that leaks because
of rust or damage, can permit an increased exhaust noise level. Inspect muffler periodically and replace if
necessary.
n DO NOT use this engine on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved land unless a
spark arrestor is attached to the muffler.
n DO NOT operate engine if air cleaner or cover directly over the carburetor air intake is removed.
n DO NOT choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
n DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE GOVERNOR SPRINGS, GOVERNOR LINKS OR OTHER PARTS WHICH
MAY INCREASE THE GOVERNED ENGINE SPEED.
n DO NOT tamper with the engine speed selected by the original equipment manufacturer.
n CAUTION - DO NOT RUN AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. Operating engine at excessive speeds increases the
danger of personal injury.
n DO NOT TOUCH hot mufflers, cylinders or fins, as contact may cause burns.
n TO PREVENT HAND OR ARM INJURY, always pull starter chord rapidly to avoid kickback.
n READ ENGINE OWNERS/OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE USING OR ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THIS
MACHINE.

PUMP PRECAUTIONS

n NEVER allow the pump to run for more than a 2 minute period without opening the gun. (This
will cause pump damage due to excessive water temperature and void the warranty)
n NEVER let the pump run when the machine is not connected to the water supply. This causes
cavitation and voids the warranty.
n NEVER run acids or hard caustics (such as lye) through the pump.
n NEVER use chemicals or agents which are not compatible with the Buna-N and PVC (polyvinyl)
or neoprene covering of the hose. (Always use citrus based detergents.)
n NEVER use water with a temperature over 100 degrees F.
n Check for leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.
n Check for missing o-rings in the couplers.
