DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and
extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration.
When adding or removing fuel:
Turn the pressure washer off and let it cool for at
least two minutes before removing the fuel cap.
Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the pressure washer
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the fuel to the pressure washer.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the pressure washer:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged pressure
washer.

fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.

Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
