the tank which could
result in spillage and
possible fire explosion.
• Operating the pressure
washer in an explosive
environment could result
in a fire.
• Materials placed against
or near the pressure
washer can interfere with
its proper ventilation
features causing
overheating and possible
ignition of the materials.
• Muffler exhaust heat can
damage painted surfaces,
melt any material
sensitive to heat (such
as siding, plastic, rubber,
vinyl or the pressure
hose, itself ), and damage
live plants.
• Improperly stored fuel
could lead to accidental
ignition. Fuel improperly
secured could get into the
hands of children or other
unqualified persons.

DANGER: RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND
LACERATION
WhAT CAn hAPPEn
• Your pressure washer
operates at fluid pressures
and velocities 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 result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT
FLUID INJECTION AS
A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
• Use only chemical/
cleaning soaps specifically
recommended for
high pressure washers.
Follow manufacturers
recommendations.
Do not use chlorine
bleach or any other
corrosive compound.
hOW TO PREVEnT iT
• Inspect the high pressure
hose regularly. Replace
the hose immediately if
it is damaged, worn, has
melted from contacting
the engine, or shows any
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 tightened and
in good condition. Never
hold onto the hose or
