• WARNING – When using this product, basic,
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
• ALWAYS take time to read all the instructions before
using the product.
• Understand and know how to safely stop the product
and bleed pressures quickly. Be fully familiar with all
controls.
• Keep operating area clear of all people, animals and
hazardous objects.
• DO NOT overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
good footing and balance at all times.
• Follow the maintenance instructions as specified in the
manual.
• It is recommended to carefully read understand all
operating aspects of the pressure washer outlined in this
manual to avoid personal injury and/or damage to property
and to maximize your power washing experience.
• This power washer conforms to CSA and other safety
and consumer standards. DO NOT modify or rebuild any
part of your power washer.
• DO NOT use your power washer when you are under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Use this power tool
carefully and only when you are alert.
• Watch your balance and footing while using your
power washer. Surfaces become slippery when wet
and are extra slippery when using a detergent or
cleaner.
• NEVER operate the power washer in bare feet,
sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• When using the power washer near children, make
sure they are closely supervised by an adult to avoid
injury. NEVER let a child use the power washer.
• DO NOT touch the high pressure spray with your
fingers, hands, feet and be careful to avoid any
contact with your eyes as the powerful spray can
cause blindness or blast holes in the skin.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection to prevent injury to eyes
when operating the power washer.
• To avoid accidents causing injury, ALWAYS use the
trigger safety lock when the power washer is not in
use even if the spraying stops for a moment.
• The power washer is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) which greatly reduces the
chance of electric shock while the unit is in use. If
replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only
identical replacement parts.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning
to use your pressure washer.
• NEVER spray directly at a person, animal, electrical
device, or the unit itself. The pressure washer can
break glass if hit with direct contact.
• When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun
and lance with two hands when pulling the trigger
(one hand to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize
the gun) until you get used to the “recoil” from the
spray gun.
• When you turn the power switch to the off position,
water pressure may remain in the system. To release
the pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction
and pull the trigger.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids.
• NEVER use the power washer in areas that contain
combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• Examine the hose regularly. Replace if damaged. Due
to the high pressure involved, it cannot be repaired if
cut or damaged.
• Only use detergent specifically formulated for power
washers and follow instructions on the detergent’s
label.
