HAZARD WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause
serious injury or death!
• Operate pressure washer in a well
ventilated area. Avoid enclosed
areas such as garages, basements,
etc.
• Never operate unit in a location
occupied by humans or animals.
• Some cleaning fluids contain sub-
stances which could cause injury
to skin, eyes, or lungs.
• Use only cleaning fluids specifically
recommended for high pressure
washers. Follow manufacturers
recommendations. Do not use
chlorine bleach or any other
corrosive compound.
• Fuel or oil can leak or spill and
could result in fire or breathing
hazard, serious injury or death can
result. Fuel or oil leaks will dam-
age carpet, paint or other surfaces
in vehicles or trailers.
• If pressure washer is equipped with
a fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve
to the off position before
transporting to avoid fuel leaks. If
pressure washer is not equipped
with a fuel shut-off valve, drain the
fuel from tank before transporting.
Only transport fuel in an OSHA
approved container. Always place
pressure washer on a protective
mat when transporting to protect
against damage to vehicle from
leaks. Remove pressure washer
from vehicle immediately upon arrival
at your destination.
• Your washer operates at fluid
pressures 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

fler.
• Never attach or remove wand or
hose fittings while system is pres-
surized.
• Injuries can result if system
pressure is not reduced before
attempting maintenance or
disassembly.
• To relieve system pressure, shut off
engine, turn off water supply, and
pull gun trigger until water stops
flowing.
• Use only hose and high pressure
accessories rated for pressure
higher than your pressure washer's
