Specific Safety Rules - Homelite UT80993 Manual Del Operador

 Never direct a water stream toward people or pets,
or any electrical device.
 Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors
and windows. Clear the area to be cleaned of debris,
toys, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could create
a hazard.
 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is
running.
 Never start the machine if ice has formed in any part
of the equipment.
 Do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable
material, bleaches, or industrial grade solutions
in this product. These products can cause physical
injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the
machine.
 Always operate the machine on a level surface. If the
engine is on an incline, it could seize due to improper
lubrication (even at the maximum oil level).
 WARNING: High pressure jets can be dangerous
if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at
persons, animals, electrical devices, or the machine
itself.
 Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands.
Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is
pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause
loss of control and injury to yourself and others.
 Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except where specifically
recommended by the manufacturer).
 Protective covers must always cover rotating parts
when the engine is running.
 Keep cooling air intake (recoil starter area) and muffler
side of the engine at least 3 feet away from buildings,
obstructions, and other combustible objects.
 Keep the engine away from flammables and other
hazardous materials.
 Keep away from hot parts. The muffler and other engine
parts become very hot; use caution.
 Do not touch the spark plug and ignition cable when
starting and operating the engine.
 Check fuel hoses and joints for looseness and fuel
leakage before each use.
 Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use.
A loose bolt or nut may cause serious engine problems.
 Always refuel outdoors. Never refuel indoors or in a
poorly ventilated area.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present,
such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers,
and the like.
 If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
 To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel
with care. It is highly flammable.
 Do not smoke while handling fuel.
 Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
 Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep
fuel from escaping around the cap.
 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
 Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 feet away from
refueling site before starting engine.
 If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
 Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any
circumstances.
 Before storing, allow the engine to cool.
 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from spark and/or flame-producing equipment.
 Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this
purpose.
 Empty fuel tank and restrain the unit from moving
before transporting in a vehicle.
 When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
 ONLY use cold water.
 Make sure minimum clearance of 3 feet is maintained
from combustible materials.
 Never spray close to the surface to be cleaned as you
can damage the surface.
 Ensure the high pressure hose is properly connected
before using the product.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.
