DANGER
Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.
Carbon monoxide, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
• Fluid Injection. This machine produces high pressure fluid
streams that can pierce skin. Fluid injection will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Risk of Fire. Hot surfaces could ignite combustibles,
resulting in fire. Fire could result in death or serious
injury.
• Vision Loss. Eye goggles are required to be worn when
using this machine. Failure to wear eye goggles could
result in permanent vision loss.
• Recoil Hazard. Recoil could retract unexpectedly if water
pressure is not properly relieved from pump, creating
kickback. Kickback could result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: DO NOT run the machine without a proper water
connection. Failure to connect a water source will damage
the pump, and void warranty.
