ous in ju ry or death can re sult. Fuel or
oil leaks will dam age carpet, paint or
oth er surfaces in ve hi cles or trailers.
• Oil could fill the cylinder and damage
the engine if the unit is not stored or
transported in an upright position.
• If pressure washer is equipped with a fuel
shut-off valve, turn the valve to the OFF
position before transporting to avoid fuel
leaks. If pres sure wash er is not equipped
with a fuel shut-off valve, drain the fuel
from tank before trans port ing. Only trans-

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.
