DANGER
Before servicing unit, wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop. Turn engine off and
remove the spark plug wire.
Caring For Hoses
1. Inspect hoses before each use. If hoses have
excessive wear, tears, or punctures, replace
immediately.
2. To prolong the life of the hose, periodically rotate
hose and turn hose end to end. Refer to
Preventative Maintenance Schedule in this
manual.
3. Avoid twists and sharp turns in the hoses, as they
will increase wear on the hoses.
4. Avoid dragging the lower hose along the sides of
buildings or other hard surfaces.
