Specific Safety Rules - Husky HU80220 Operator's Manual

 Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
product, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
 Never leave product running unattended. Turn power
off. Don't leave product until it comes to a complete
stop.
 Keep the motor free of grass, leaves, or grease to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
 Follow manufacturer's recommendations for safe
loading, unloading, transport, and storage of
machine.
 Keep product dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
solvents to clean product.
 Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string
which can be thrown or become entangled in the
machine.
 Do not use product if switch does not turn it off. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service
center.
 Avoid dangerous environment. Don't expose to rain.
Keep work area well lit.
 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
product or to disconnect the plug from an outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the product. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
and will require the use of a polarized extension cord.
The plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a
correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
 WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOWA.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
 Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil or
grease.
 Never direct a water stream toward 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.
 Do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable
material, bleaches, or industrial grade solutions in this
product. These products can cause physical injuries to
the operator and irreversible damage to the machine.
 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.
 Keep the motor away from flammables and other
hazardous materials.
 Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use. A
loose bolt or nut may cause serious motor problems.
 Before storing, allow the motor to cool.
 When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
 ONLY use cold water.
 Make sure minimum clearance of 3 feet is maintained
from combustible materials.
 Connect pressure washer only to an individual branch
circuit.
 Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands.
Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is
pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause
loss of control and injury to yourself and others.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
product, loan them these instructions also.
