HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds. Always keep pressure washer a minimum of four feet away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles, or live plants) that could be damaged from muffler exhaust heat. Store fuel in an OSHA approved container, in a secure location away from work area.
Over ination 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 inating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure. NOTE: Air tanks, compressors, and similar equipment used to inate tires can ll small tires similar to these very rapidly. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over ination.
HAZARD
RISK TO BREATHING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Some cleaning fluids contain substances which could cause injury to skin, eyes, or lungs.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Operate pressure washer in a well ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas such as garages, basements, etc. Never operate unit in a location occupied by humans or animals. Use only cleaning uids specically recommended for high pressure washers. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Do not use chlorine bleach or any other corrosive compound.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Do not use acids, gasoline, kerosene, or any other ammable materials in this product. Use only household detergents, cleaners and degreasers recommended for use in pressure washers. Wear protective clothing to protect eyes and skin from contact with sprayed materials.

HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Never place hands in front of nozzle. Direct spray away from self and others. Make sure hose and ttings are tightened and in good condition. Never hold onto the hose or ttings during operation. Do not allow hose to contact mufer. Never attach or remove wand or hose ttings while system is pressurized.
Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced before attempting maintenance or disassembly.
To relieve system pressure, shut off engine, turn off water supply, and pull gun trigger until water stops owing. Use only hoses and accessories rated for pressure higher than your pressure washer's PSI.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Unplug any electrically operated product before attempting to clean it. Direct spray away from electric outlets and switches.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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.

HAZARD
Unsafe operation of your pressure washer could lead to serious injury or death to you or others.
Do not use chlorine bleach or any other corrosive compound. Become familiar with the operation and controls of the pressure washer. Keep operating area clear of all persons, pets, and obstacles. Do not operate the product when fatigued or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Stay alert at all times. Never defeat the safety features of this product. Do not operate machine with missing, broken, or unauthorized parts. Never leave wand unattended while unit is running.
If engine does not start after two pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury. Keep children away from the pressure washer at all times. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Do not use pressure washer while standing on a ladder. Grip gun/wand rmly with both hands. Expect the gun to kickback when triggered.
If proper starting procedure is not followed, engine can kickback causing serious hand and arm injury.
The spray gun/wand is a powerful cleaning tool that could look like a toy to a child. Reactive force of spray will cause gun/ wand to kickback, and could cause the operator to slip or fall, or misdirect the spray. Improper control of gun/wand can result in injuries to self and others.

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within pump when the gun trigger is not pulled. Allowing the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump. Chemical Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness. Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 gallons per minute.
When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur. Your washer operates at uid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal esh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose ttings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately! NEVER ll fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when lling fuel tank. NEVER ll fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of ller neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine. NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine mufer during or immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty. NEVER pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet. DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only. NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result. DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged. If you do not understand these precautions, please call 1-800-888-2468 to speak to a service representative for further instructions.

STORAGE
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for storage. 5. Pull engine starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze comes out of high pressure hose connection of pump. 6. Remove garden hose from water inlet of pump. 7. Reconnect spark plug wire. *Windshield washer uid may also be used
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer, such as EXA80, when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. If a pump protector/winterizer is not available, *RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below. NOTE: Using a pump protector/winterizer or *RV antifreeze is to provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV antifreeze, and 16 - 36 inches of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end. Use only RV antifreeze. Any other antifreeze is corrosive and can damage pump. 2. Disconnect spark plug wire. 3. Connect length of garden hose to water inlet of pump. 4. Add *RV antifreeze to hose as shown. 1.
PRESSURE WASHER
1. 2. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it in cradle of the pressure washer handle. Drain all water from spray gun and wand by holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in gun holder. Store chemical hose so it is protected from damage. If space is needed, remove handles and replace as shown.
