  • Page 12: Making Adjustments Or Repairs To The Engine

    MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to engine. Excessively low speeds produce heavy load on engine. • DO NOT attempt to alter pre-set governed speed. Engine governor is factory set to supply optimum output horse power (HP) when running at governed speed.

  • Page 13: Storing Petrol Or Equipment With Petrol In Petrol Tank

    STORING PETROL OR EQUIPMENT WITH PETROL IN PETROL TANK Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, and all other appliances with pilot lights or other ignition sources.

  • Page 14 RISK OF INJURY Waterblaster produces fluid pressures and velocities high enough to pene- trate human and animal flesh which could result in serious injury or ampu- tation. Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Inspect all hoses to ensure they are not damaged or kinked. Loose connections or dam- aged hoses can result in injection injuries.
  • Page 15 DO NOT use acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, flamma- ble solvents or bleach with Waterblaster.

  • Page 17: Waterblaster Terminology

    WATERBLASTER TERMINOLOGY Following are common terms associated with the use of waterblasters: PSI: Pounds per square inch – common unit measure used for water pressure, air pressure, hydraulic pressure and pounds of force. LPM: Liters per minute – common unit measure used for flow rate of water. Bypass Mode: In bypass mode, high pressure pump recirculates water because spray gun trigger is not squeezed.
