WARNING:
Your Responsibility—Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read, understand and
follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and
property damage.
•
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before
each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the
correct tire pressure.
NOTE:
Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used
to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the
rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
•
High-velocity fluid spray directed at pneumatic tire
sidewalls (such as found on automobiles, trailers and the
like) could damage the sidewall resulting in serious injury.
•
On pressure washers rated above 1600 PSI (11032 kPa)
use the widest fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep the spray a
minimum of 8" (20 cm) from the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do
not aim spray directly at the joint between the tire and rim.
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Contact with hot surfaces, such as engine exhaust
components, could result in serious burn.
•
During operation, touch only the control surfaces of the
pressure washer. Keep children away from the pressure
washer at all times. They may not be able to recognize the
hazards of this product.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY FROM LIFTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Serious injury can result from attempting to lift too heavy
an object.
•
The pressure washer is too heavy to be lifted by one person.
Obtain assistance from others before lifting.
Do not modify engine
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine
and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of engine governor.
Notice Regarding Emissions
Engines which are certified to comply with California and federal EPA emission regulations for SORE (Small Off Road Equipment) are
certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline, and may include the following emission control systems: Engine Modification (EM),
Oxidizing Catalyst (OC), Secondary Air Injection (SAI) and Three Way Catalyst (TWC) if so equipped.
Spark Arrestor
WARNING!
This machine is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any
unimproved forest-covered, brush covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest engine authorized service dealer.
