pressure rated for your pressure washer.
• Never move the machine by pulling on the high pressure
hose. Use the handle provided on the top of the uniL
= Always be certain the spray gun, nozzles and accessories
are correctly attached.
® Never use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock

® Use a respirator or mask whenever there isa chance that
vapors may be inhaled. Read al! instructions with the
mask so you are certain the mask will provide the neces-
sary protection against inhaling harmful vapors
o High pressure spray may damage fragile items including
glass Do not point spray gun at glass when in the jet
spray mode
e Keep the hose connected to machine or the spray gun
while the system is pressurized Disconnecting the hose
while the unit is pressurized is dangerous°
o Hold the spray gun firmly in your hand before you start
the unit, Failure to do so could result in an injury from a

surfaces.,
e Keep waterspray away from electric wiring or fatal electdc
shock may resulL
e Do not adjust unloader valve to a pressure in excess of
machine rating_
= Do not secure trigger gun in the pull-back (open) position.
= Do not by-pass any safety device on this machine
o Do not leave tngger closed for more than 5 minutes with
engine running This could damage the pump.

using it. Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasions ol
bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If
any of these conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
Never repair high pressure hose Replace it with another
hose that meets minimum pressure rating of your pros=
sure washer
