source can cause electric shock or
burn.
Unexpected kickback while spraying
can cause you to fall.
• Use of pressure washer can create
slippery surfaces and puddles. The
operating area of this equipment
should have adequate drainage to
reduce the possibility of a fall due to
slippery surfaces.
• Be extremely careful if necessary
to use the pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding or any other
similar location.
• Use both hands to firmly grasp the
spray gun while in use to avoid injury
from high-pressure kickback.
NEVER use acids, toxic or corrosive
chemicals, poisons, insecticides,
or any kind of flammable solvent
with this equipment. Only use

recommended for use in this pressure
washer.

siphon standing water for the water supply. Water
temperature must not exceed 100°F (37.7°C).

or check valve at the pump's water inlet. Installing
one of these devices at the pump's water inlet could
cause damage to the pump and will void the warran-
ty. Allow at least 10 feet (3 m) of unrestricted hose
length between the pump's water inlet and a one-way
valve, vacuum breaker or check valve.
