IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in the multiple ignition
sources or engine/burner exhaust.
Always operate pressure washer in a well ventilated area free of flammable
vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials.
Do not store the pressure washer near an open flame or any equipment
such as a stove, furnace, water heater, etc., which utilizes a pilot light or
sparking device.
Serious injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling.
Do not use this pressure washer to spray flammable material!
Do not smoke while filling fuel tanks.
Never fill the fuel tanks while the engine is running or hot. Allow the engine
to cool two minutes before refueling.
Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause
a risk of fire.
Engine Fuel Tank:
If using a Gasoline Engine, refuel with gasoline only. Do not use diesel or
fuel oil.
Diesel Fuel Tank:
If using a Diesel Engine, refuel with diesel only. Do not use gasoline.
Burner Fuel Tank:
When refueling the Burner Fuel Tank, useNo. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil/diesel or
kerosene. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or oil containing gaso-
line or solvents.
Do not operate the unit if gasoline or diesel fuel is spilled. Wipe the pressure
washer clean and move it away from the spill. Avoid creating any ignition
until the gasoline or diesel fuel has evaporated.
Serious injury or death may occur from the battery.
When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases in the bat-
tery are extremely explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times, especially when charging the battery.
Be certain to disconnect the battery ground terminal before servicing. When
disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with the negative terminal,
and when connecting them, start with the positive cable.
When charging the battery, remove the battery vent plugs.
Use only a voltmeter or hydrometer to check a battery charge.
DO NOT jump start the battery unless both batteries are of equal voltage
and amperage.
RISK OF FIRE
Serious injury or death may occur from a ground fire caused by a muffler
spark.
A spark arrester must be added to the muffler of this engine when using
on land covered with any flammable agricultural crop (hay and grain), and
if they are used in or near brush or forested areas. The arrester must be
maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the state of Califor-
nia, the above is required by law. (Section 4442 and 4443 of the California
Public Resources Code.) Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws
apply on Federal lands.
