Fire Precautions - Stanley PW6768 Instruction Manual

MAINTAIN YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
WITH CARE
When not using your pressure washer ensure the fuel cock
is 'OFF'. Never leave the fuel cock 'ON' as this can damage
the carburettor. Follow the instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles clean, dry and free from
oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and
free from dust at all times. Blocked ventilation slots can cause
overheating and damage to the motor. Ensure that the air and
fuel filters are kept clean at all times.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any adjusting keys
or wrenches have been removed from the pressure washer
before operating.

FIRE PRECAUTIONS

Always contact your fire authority before using the pressure
washer on fire restricted days. It is not recommended to use
your pressure washer when a total fire ban is in force. Never
refuel your pressure washer while it is still running. As a
precaution it is recommended that an expert is consulted on
obtaining and using a suitable fire extinguisher.
CLEANING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Always stop your pressure washer before you commence
cleaning. Always ensure that your pressure washer has cooled,
about one (1) hour, before cleaning and storing. When cleaning
your pressure washer use only a damp soft cloth. NEVER use
liquid or solvents of any type.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to appliance
being cleaned. Always trial test the pressure washer on an
inconspicuous part of the appliance. Beware poor paint and
rust as the water will lift poor paint and cause rust spots to
grow. Damage caused by pressure washer is not covered by
warranty.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the pressure washer it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced
or repaired at an authorised service facility. Check any
other condition that may affect the operation of the pressure
washer. A guard or any other part of the pressure washer
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must be replaced by
an authorised service facility.
DO NOT use the pressure washer if the 'ON / OFF' motor
switch does not turn the pressure washer 'ON' and 'OFF'.
