WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Your pressure washer operates
at fluid pressures and veloci-
ties high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which
could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks
caused by loose fittings or
worn or damaged hoses can
fesult in injection injuries. DO
NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION
AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a phy-
sician immediately!
Injuries can result if system
pressure is not reduced before
attempting maintenance or
disassembly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
High-velocity fuild spray can
cause objects to break, propel-
ling particles at high speed.
Light or unsecured objects can
become hazardous projectiles.
RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION
Inspect the high-pressure hose regular-
ly. Replace the hose immediately if it is
damaged, worn, has melted from con-
tacting the engine, or shows signs of
cracks, bubbles, pinholes, or other
leakage. Never grasp a high-pressure
hose that is leaking or damaged.
Never touch, grasp, or attempt to cover
a pinhole or similar water leak on the
high pressure hose. The stream of
water IS under high pressure and WILL
penetrate skin.
Never place hands in front of nozzle.
Direct spray away from self and others.
Make sure hose and fittings are tight-
ened and in good condition. Never
hold onto the hose or fittings during
operation.
Do not allow the hose to contact muffler.
Never attach or remove wand or hose
fittings while system is pressurized.
To relieve system pressure, shut off
engine, turn off water supply and pull
gun trigger until water stops flowing.
Use only hoses and accessories rated
for pressure higher than your pressure
washer's psi.
RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY
Always wear ANSI-approved Z87.1
safety glasses. Wear protective clothing
to protect against accidental spraying.
Never point wand at or spray people or
animals.
Always secure trigger lock when wand
is not in service to prevent accidental
operation.
Never permanently secure trigger in
pull-back (open) position.
