Operation
Step 1: Safe Location
Before starting the pressure washer, there are two equally
important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide
poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment,
such as a pressure washer, contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell
exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas.
By law, it is required in many states to have a carbon
monoxide alarm in operating condition in your home.
A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that
detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there
is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert
the occupants by flashing a visual indicator light and an
alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product only outdoors, far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas accumulating and the potential of being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and
windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly
build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even
after this product has shut off.
• Point exhaust away from all homes and occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operation
Carbon monoxide alarm
Install carbon monoxide alarms inside
your home. Without working carbon
monoxide alarms, you may not realize
you are getting sick and dying from
carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Do not place pressure washer under a deck or other type
of structure that may confine airflow. Smoke alarm(s)
must be installed and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer’s instructions /recommendations.
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section
4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust
system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in
Section 4442, maintained in effective working order.
Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws,
reference Federal Regulation 36 CFR Part 261.52.
• Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or
dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.

Operación
Paso1: Ubicación segura
Antes de arrancar la lavadora a presión, hay dos problemas
de seguridad igualmente importantes con respecto a la
intoxicación por monóxido de carbono e incendios que
deben abordarse.
Ubicación durante el funcionamiento para reducir el riesgo de
intoxicación por monóxido de carbono
El escape del motor de todos los equipos que queman
combustibles fósiles, como la lavadora a presión, contiene
monóxido de carbono, un gas tóxico que puede ser mortal
en minutos. Además de que no se lo puede ver, es inodoro
e insípido. Incluso si no huele los gases del escape, puede
estar expuesto al monóxido de carbono.
En muchos estados, la ley requiere el uso de alarmas de
monóxido de carbono funcionales en los hogares. Se trata
de un dispositivo electrónico que detecta niveles peligrosos
de monóxido de carbono. Cuando se produce una
acumulación de monóxido de carbono, la alarma avisa a
los habitantes con un sonido y una luz indicadora, visible
e intermitente. Las alarmas de humo no pueden detectar
el monóxido de carbono.
¡ADVERTENCIA! La descarga de escape del motor
contiene monóxido de carbono, un gas tóxico que
puede matar en minutos. Además de que no se lo
puede ver, es inodoro e insípido. Incluso si no huele los
gases del escape, puede estar expuesto al monóxido de
carbono.
• Opere este producto solamente en exteriores, lejos de
ventanas, puertas y ventilaciones para reducir el riesgo
de que el monóxido de carbono se acumule y pueda
circular en espacios habitados.
• Instale alarmas de monóxido de carbono con baterías
o enchufe con batería de respaldo siguiendo las
instrucciones del fabricante. Las alarmas de humo no
pueden detectar el monóxido de carbono.
• No opere este producto dentro de hogares, garajes,
sótanos, espacios reducidos, cobertizos u otros espacios
parcialmente cerrados, incluso si usa ventiladores o
deja las puertas y ventanas abiertas. El monóxido de
carbono se puede acumular rápidamente en estos
espacios y puede permanecer durante horas, incluso
después de que se apaga este producto.
• A punte el escape en la dirección opuesta de las casas
y de los espacios donde haya personas u objectos.
Si comienza a sentirse mareado o débil cuando utiliza el
producto, tome aire fresco inmediatamente y consulte a
un médico. Puede haberse intoxicado con monóxido de
carbono.

Instale alarmas de monóxido de carbono
en el interior de su casa. Sin alarmas de
monóxido de carbono en funcionamiento,
es posible que no se dé cuenta de que se
está intoxicando y muriendo debido a una
intoxicación por monóxido de carbono.

Ubicación durante el funcionamiento para reducir el riesgo
deincendio
¡ADVERTENCIA! Los gases y el calor del escape
pueden encender materiales combustibles y
estructuras, o dañar el tanque de combustible y
provocar un incendio, lo que podría resultar en lesiones
graves o la muerte.
• La lavadora a presión debe encontrarse al menos a
5pies (1,5m) de cualquier estructura, alero, árboles,
ventanas, puertas, cualquier abertura de pared, arbustos
o vegetación de más de 12pulgadas (30,5cm) de altura.
• No coloque la lavadora a presión debajo de una
plataforma ni de ningún otro tipo de estructura que
pueda limitar el flujo de aire. Se deben instalar y
mantener alarmas de humo en el interior de acuerdo con
las instrucciones o recomendaciones del fabricante.
• Las alarmas de monóxido de carbono no pueden detectar
elhumo.
• Es una violación del Código de Recursos Públicos de
California, Sección 4442, utilizar u operar el motor
en cualquier espacio cubierto con árboles, maleza o
pasto a menos que el sistema de escape esté equipado
con un extintor de chispas, como lo define la Sección
4442, mantenido en correcto funcionamiento. Otras
jurisdicciones federales o estatales pueden tener leyes
similares. Para obtener más información, consulte la
Parte 261.52 de la Regulación Federal 36 del CFR.
• Póngase en contacto con el vendedor, el distribuidor o el
fabricante del equipo original para obtener un extintor de
chispas diseñado para el sistema de escape instalado en
estemotor.
• Las piezas de repuesto deben ser iguales y se deben
instalar en la misma posición que las piezas originales.
Paso2: Aceite y combustible
Comprobación del nivel de aceite
1. Asegúrese de que la lavadora a presión esté en una
superficie nivelada.
2. Consulte el manual del operario del motor para añadir
al motor el aceite y el combustible recomendado.
Transporte
No incline el motor ni el equipo en un ángulo que provoque
un derrame de combustible.
Paso3: Configuración general
Limpie los residuos
Limpie los residuos acumulados. Mantenga el área
alrededor del mofle libre de residuos.
• Use un cepillo de cerda suave para eliminar los restos
de suciedad o aceite endurecidos.
• Use un paño húmedo para limpiar las superficies
exteriores.
Lubrique las juntas tóricas
Lubrique todas las conexiones que se muestran para
prolongar la vida útil de las juntas tóricas.
1. Inspeccione y limpie las superficies de conexión
antes de la lubricación y el montaje. Reemplace las
juntas tóricas dañadas o faltantes. Consulte la sección
Repuestos comunes.
AVISO Nunca repare las fugas en conexiones con selladores
de ninguna clase. Reemplace la junta tórica.
2. Utilice una brocha pequeña o un hisopo para recubrir
las juntas tóricas directamente con una pequeña
cantidad de grasa.
