Checking The Engine Oil - Simpson 7108644 Use And Care Manual

The high pressures created by a pressure washer can cause fluid injection injuries,
severe lacerations, amputations, and / or death. To avoid these hazards, always aim
the spray gun and lance in a safe direction when using the pressure washer and never
attempt to touch a leak in a high-pressure hose or fitting.
A running engine produces heat. The surfaces of the engine, other related components,
and engine exhaust gas get hot enough to cause mild moderate burns or ignite materials
on contact. To avoid burns, do not touch engine surfaces or exhaust gases while
operating and allow engine to cool completely before moving, touching, or performing
any maintenance. To avoid a fire, keep all flammable materials at least five feet away
from all sides of the product.
This product has many parts that move at high speeds. Moving parts can cause crushing
injuries, broken bones, severe lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. To prevent
injury, never place fingers, hands, feet, or other body parts near running engine. Never
operate product with covers, shrouds, or other guards removed. Do not wear loose-fitting
clothing, dangling drawstrings, or any other hanging items that could become entangled
in moving parts while operating. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry before operating.

Checking the Engine Oil

Hot oil can cause serious burns. To prevent getting burned when changing or checking the
engine oil, wear appropriate gloves and change the oil when the engine is warm but not hot.
The low oil sensor (if equipped) will automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls
below the safe limit. To avoid an unexpected shutdown, check the oil level before each
use, fill to the upper limit, and always operate engine on a level surface.
