Safeguards, Warnings, And Safety Tips - Blue Clean AR142 Owner's Manual

En - 4
• To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the trigger safety lock when not
using the power washer even if the spraying stops for a moment.
• The power washer is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) which greatly reduces the chance of electric shock while the unit
is in use.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning a power washing
session.
• When first using the spray gun, hold the spray gun and lance with two
hands when pulling the trigger until you get used to the "kick back" from
the spray gun (one hand to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize the
gun assembly).
• When you press the power switch to turn off the power washer, water
pressure may remain in the system. To discharge the pressure, point the
spray gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger.
• Never spray flammable liquids.
• Never use the power washer in areas that contain combustible dust,
liquids or vapors.
• Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp objects and examine the
hose regularly. Replace if damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it
cannot be repaired if cut or damaged.
• Only use detergent specifically formulated for power washers and follow
instructions on the detergent's label. We have a selection of power
washer detergents to choose from. Go to www.arblueclean.com for
more information and to order the detergents. Power washer detergents
are also available at your local hardware store.
• Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to detergent. Dish or laundry
soap is too thick and will clog the nozzle of your lance and detergent
bottle.
• IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water
in the unit from expanding under freezing conditions. When the
water freezes and expands, your power washer will be damaged and
become inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is recommended you use
Pump Saver. Pump Saver can be purchased on our website: www.
arblueclean.com. See details in the Pump Saver section of this manual.
• Never use hot water with your power washer. It will overheat and damage
the high pressure pump.
• Never leave the power washer unattended while it is powered "on".
• Always turn the water supply "on" before turning the power washer
power to "on". Running the pump dry will cause damage to the internal
components.
• Never use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 psi
maximum.
• Never disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while
the system is pressurized.
• Never permanently engage the trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
• Never operate the power washer unless all components are properly and
