IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

SPRAY PRECAUTIONS:

RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY
DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS
WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE OBSERVED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:
-Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
-Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand,
fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle. Always keep operating area
clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
-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. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell a
physician exactly what kind.
2. When using hot inlet water, do not touch or direct dishcarge stream at
persons. Pump surface temperature is the same as inlet water temperature.
3. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the eyes
from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such as
rubber suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using
cleaning detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
4. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5. NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the
water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the
operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on
unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear
and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun while
on a ladder or roof.
6. Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials such
as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.
7. ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and
operating the unit. Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip
dangerously. 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.
8. Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump,
hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun. Before removing
the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit and trigger
the gun to release trapped pressure.
