IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ BEFORE CLEANING, REPAIRING, OR INSPECTING,
shut off the engine and make certain all moving parts
have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
■ AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use in
damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work
area well lit.
■ NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
■ DO NOT OPERATE WHILE SMOKING OR NEAR
AN OPEN FLAME.
■ DO NOT OPERATE AROUND dry brush, twigs,
cloth rags, or other flammable materials.
■ WARNING: RISK OF INJECTION OR INJURY.
Do not direct discharge stream at persons.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
■ NEVER DIRECT A WATER STREAM TOWARDS
PEOPLE OR PETS, OR ANY ELECTRICAL
DEVICE.
■ BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OPERATION,
close doors and windows. Clear the area to be
cleaned of debris, toys, outdoor furniture, or other
objects that could create a hazard.
■ NEVER PICK UP OR CARRY A MACHINE WHILE
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
■ NEVER START THE MACHINE if ice has formed in
any part of the equipment.
■ DO NOT USE ACIDS, ALKALINES, SOLVENTS,
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL, OR INDUSTRIAL
GRADE SOLUTIONS in this product. These products
can cause physical injuries to the operator and
irreversible damage to the machine.
■ ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE on a level
surface. If the engine is at an incline, it could seize due
to improper lubrication (even at the maximum oil level).
■ WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE JETS CAN BE
DANGEROUS IF SUBJECT TO MISUSE.
The jet must not be directed at persons, animals,
electrical devices, or the machine itself.
■ NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS
WHILE THE ENGINE (MOTOR) IS RUNNING
(except where specifically recommended by the
manufacturer).
■ PROTECTIVE COVERS MUST ALWAYS COVER
ROTATING PARTS WHEN THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING.
■ KEEP COOLING AIR INTAKE (recoil starter area)
and muffler side of the engine at least 1m away from
buildings, obstructions, and other burnable objects.
■ KEEP THE ENGINE AWAY FROM FLAMMABLES
AND OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
■ KEEP AWAY FROM HOT PARTS. The muffler and
other engine parts become very hot, use caution.
■ DO NOT TOUCH THE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION
CABLE when starting and operating the engine.
■ CHECK FUEL HOSES AND JOINTS for looseness
and fuel leakage before each use.
■ CHECK BOLTS AND NUTS for looseness before
each use. A loose bolt or nut may cause serious
engine problems.
■ HIGH PRESSURE CLEANER SHALL NOT BE USED
BY CHILDREN OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL.
■ USE HEAR PROTECTION DEVICE.

INJURY, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
■ DO NOT SMOKE WHILE HANDLING FUEL.
■ ADD FUEL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
■ LOOSEN FUEL CAP SLOWLY to release pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
■ REPLACE ALL FUEL TANK AND CONTAINER
CAPS SECURELY.
■ WIPE SPILLED FUEL FROM THE UNIT. Move 9 m
away from refueling site before starting engine.
■ IF FUEL IS SPILLED, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated.
