SAFETY WARNINGS

HAZARD
RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE
Serious injury or death could occur from high pressure spray penetrating the skin.
- Keep clear of nozzle and spray! Never put your hand, fingers or body directly over
the spray nozzle. Keep hands and feet away from rotating spray arm and high
pressure discharge spray.
- This product is to be used only by trained operators. Always keep operating area
clear of all persons.
- DO NOT allow children to operate this unit.
- If an accident does occur, and the spray appears to have penetrated the skin,
SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Be prepared to tell a physician exactly what kind of cleaning agents you were using
by reading the Detergent Label and the Material Safety Data Sheet provided with
your detergent.
- High pressure hoses should be inspected daily for signs of wear. If evidence of
failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses to prevent the possibility of injury
from the high pressure spray. If a hose or fitting is leaking, NEVER PLACE YOUR
HAND DIRECTLY ON THE LEAK.
- Before using rotary surface cleaner, or when quick connecting high pressure hoses,
be certain the "collar" on the female quick connect is locked securely to prevent
accidental discharge and that all quick coupler fittings are secure.
- NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open position. To prevent
accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be securely locked when not in use.
- Do not make repairs or adjustments while unit is running.
- Before removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit
and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure. (Even after you shut off the unit,
there is high pressure water left in the unit until you release it by triggering the gun).
Allow the unit to cool down and service in a clean, dry, flat area.
- CAUTION: Operating while moving over any raised obstacle will damage surface
cleaner. If rotating spray arm strikes an object, causing a vibration, STOP and
replace spray arm assembly. Continued operation could result in serious injury or
damage to surface cleaner.
HAZARD
RISK OF BURNS
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE
Serious injury may occur from touching Hot Surfaces
-The Rotary Surface Cleaner is capable of accepting a maximum permissable rating
of 212°F. Operating temperature under normal operating conditions is 175°.
When using in a hot water application, do not touch or direct discharge stream
at persons. Be cautious of hose fittings as surface temperatures are the same as
the water temperature.
