. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR ADOLESCENTS TO OPERATE
THIS UNIT!
. Read and follow all handling, operations, maintenance and safety
instructions listed in this manual and the Engine Operator’s manual
that accompanies this unit, and provide such information to ANYONE
who will be operating this unit.
. In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to
ensure there is no ice formation in the pump. DO NOT start this unit
if it has been transported in an open or underheated vehicle without
first allowing the pump to thaw.
4. When connecting the water inlet to the water supply mains, local
regulations of your water company must be observed. In some areas
the unit must not be connected directly to the public drinking water
supply. This is to ensure that there is no feedback of the detergents
into the water supply. (Direct connection is permitted if a back flow
preventer is installed.)
5. DO NOT allow any part of your body or the high pressure hose to make
contact with the muffler. Avoid dragging the hose over an abrasive
surface such as cement. This causes wear and eventual rupturing.
6. High pressure hoses should be inspected daily for signs of wear. If
evidence of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses to prevent
the possibility of injury from the high pressure spray. If a hose or fitting
is leaking, NEVER place your hand directly on the leak.
7. DO NOT operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
8. NEVER run the unit with the governor disconnected or operate at
excessive speeds.
9. To reduce the risk of injury, maintain a safe distance from persons while
operating this unit. Close supervision is necessary when operating
the unit near children.
0. DO NOT leave pressurized unit unattended. Shut off the unit and
release trapped pressure before leaving.
AdjuSTmenT PReCAuTIOnS
. NEVER alter or modify the equipment, be sure any accessory items
and system components being used will withstand the pressure
developed. Use ONLY genuine manufacturer parts for repair of your
unit. Failure to do so can cause hazardous operating conditions and
will void warranty.
. NEVER make adjustments to the machinery while it is connected to
the engine without first removing the ignition cable from spark plug.
Turning the machinery over by hand during adjustment or cleaning
might start the engine and machinery with it, causing serious injury
to the operator.

Be thoroughly familiar with controls.
4. Before servicing the pressure washer; turn the unit off, relieve the
water pressure, and allow the unit to cool down. Do not make repairs
while unit is running. Service in a clean, dry, flat area.
