Operation

Step 3. Spraying

Before starting the pressure washer, review the following general safety
rules for operation:
Know how to stop. Be thoroughly familiar with proper use of the equipment and
all controls and connections. Know how to stop the pressure washer and
depressurize system quickly if needed (see "Step 4. Stopping").
Instruct all operators. The pressure washer's owner must instruct all operators
and potential renters in safe set-up and operation. Do not allow anyone to
operate the pressure washer who has not read the Owner's Manual and been
instructed on its safe use.
Adult control only. Only trained adults should set up and operate the pressure
washer. Do not let children operate. Pressure washers can generate forces
greater than children can control and require judgment beyond what can be
expected of children.
Under the influence. Never operate, or let anyone else operate, the pressure
washer while fatigued or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Safety equipment / controls in place. Do not operate the pressure washer unless
all safety covers, guards, and barriers are in place and in good working order,
and all controls are properly adjusted for safe operation.
Damaged. Do not operate the pressure washer with damaged, missing, or broken
parts. Never attempt to repair a high pressure hose or component. Always
replace it with a part that is rated at or above the pressure rating of the machine.
Modifications. Do not modify the pressure washer in any way or deactivate any
safety device. Do not change or add to fuel tank, fuel lines, or exhaust system.
Modifications can result in hazards related to carbon monoxide poisoning, fuel
leaks, fire, explosion or other serious safety hazards, and will also void the
warranty.
