If pressure washer is not equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, drain the fuel from tank before transporting. Only transport fuel in cylinder and damage a CARB (California Air the engine if the Resources Board) or unit is not stored or EPA (Environmental transported in an Protection Agency) upright position. approved container. Always place pressure washer on a protective mat when transporting to protect against damage to vehicle from leaks. Always transport and store unit in an upright position.Remove pressure washer from vehicle immediately upon arrival at your destination.

Use only household detergents, cleaners and degreasers recommended for use with pressure washers. Wear protective clothing to protect eyes and skin from contact with sprayed materials.  WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage. • 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. HOW TO PREVENT IT • 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. • On pressure washers rated above 1600 psi (11032 kPa) use the widest fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep the spray a minimum of 8" (200 mm) from the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do not aim spray directly at the joint between the tire and rim. 5
