RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA SÉCURITÉ DU CONSOMMATEUR
• CONSERVER TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT Il se peut que ce produit ne soit pas équipé d’un silencieux à pare-étincelles. Si le produit n’en est pas
équipé, et s’il est utilisé près de matériaux inflammables ou sur de la terre couverte de produits agricoles, forêts, broussailles, gazon ou au-
tres articles semblables, un pare-étincelles approuvé doit être posé, et est exigé par la loi en Californie. Selon la section 130050 de la loi de la
Californie, et les sections 4442 et 4443 du Code sur les ressources publiques de la Californie, ce produit ne peut pas être utilisé en Californie,
à moins que le moteur ne soit équipé d’un pare-étincelles, tel que décrit dans la section 4442, et à moins que l’appareil ne soit maintenu en bon
état de fonctionnement. Des pare-étincelles sont également requis sur certaines terres forestières des États-Unis et peuvent être exigés légale-
ment sous certains autres lois et arrêtés.
AVERTISSEMENT CALIFORNIE PROPOSITION 65 AVERTISSEMENT

présentant des dangers pour la reproduction.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
• CONSERVER TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT N’utilisez pas cet appareil avant d’avoir lu et compris les instructions sur la sécurité, l’utilisation et l’entretien
de ce Guide de l’utilisateur et du Guide du propriétaire du moteur.
LISEZ ET CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
CE QUI PEUT SE PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Les cigarettes, étincelles, arc électrique, gaz d’échappement et des parties
chaudes du moteur telles qu’un silencieux peuvent enflammer l’essence
déversée et ses vapeurs.
• Éteindre le moteur et le laisser refroidir avant de remplir le réservoir d’essence.
• Être attentif et éviter de déverser de l’essence lors du remplissage du réser-
voir. Éloigner la laveuse haute pression de la zone de ravitaillement avant de
démarrer le moteur.
• Le combustible du réservoir se dilate sous l’effet de la chaleur et pourrait se
solder par un déversement et un incendie ou une explosion. • Laisser environ 127 mm (1/2 po) de dégagement sous le bord du goulot de remplissage pour permettre l’expansion de l’essence.
• Le fonctionnement de la laveuse haute pression dans un milieu explosif
pourrait se solder par un incendie. • Utiliser et faire le plein d’essence de l’équipement dans des zones bien déga- gées de tout obstacle. Installer un extincteur adéquat dans les zones de travail
pour combattre les incendies à base d’essence.
• Du matériel déposé contre ou près de la laveuse haute pression peut in-
terférer avec les fonctionnalités d’aération de l’équipement et provoquer une
surchauffe et l’allumage du materiel (risque d’incendie).
• Ne jamais utiliser la laveuse haute pression dans une zone avec arbustes ou
broussailles secs.
DANGER RISQUE D’EXPLOSION OU D’INCENDIE

20 - FR 200-2839Copyright © 2011 MAT Industries, LLC
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES (SUITE)
• CONSERVER TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS
CE QUI PEUT SE PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• La chaleur de l’échappement du silencieux peut endommager des surfaces
peintes, faire fondre tout type de matériel sensible à la chaleur (comme du
revêtement extérieur, plastique, caoutchouc, vinyle ou meme le tuyau haute
pression) et nuire aux plantes vivantes.
• Toujours éloigner la laveuse haute pression d’au moins 1,2 m (4 pi) de toutes
surfaces (telles que desmaisons, voitures, ou des plantes vivantes) qui pour-
raient être endommagées par la chaleur s’échappant du silencieux.
• De l’essence mal entreposée pourrait provoquer un allumage (incendie) ac-
cidentel. Ranger l’essence de façon sécuritaire pour en empêcher l’accès aux
enfants et à toutes autres personnes non qualifiées.
• Entreposer l’essence dans un contenant homologué par la Loi sur la santé et
la sécurité du travail dans un emplacement sécuritaire loin de la zone de travail.
• L’utilisation d’acides, de produits chimiques toxiques ou corrosifs, de poi-
sons, d’insecticides ou de toute sorte de solvant inflammable dans ce produit
pourrait provoquer des blessures graves ou la mort.
• Ne pas vaporiser des liquids inflammables.
DANGER RISQUE D’EXPLOSION OU D’INCENDIE (SUITE)
CE QUI PEUT SE PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Respirer les vapeurs d’échappement provoquera de graves blessures voire,
un décès ! Les gaz d’échappement des moteurs contiennent du monoxyde de
carbone, un gaz inodore et mortel.
• Utiliser la laveuse haute pression dans une zone bien aérée. Éviter les endroits
clos comme les garages, les sous-sols, etc.
• Ne jamais utiliser l’appareil dans un endroit habité par des hommes ou des an
maux.
• Certains liquides nettoyants contiennent des substances pouvant provoquer
des blessures à la peau, aux yeux ou au système respiratoire. • Utiliser uniquement des liquids nettoyants spécialement recommandés pour les laveuses haute pression. Suivre les recommandations des fabricants.
Ne pas utiliser de produit à blanchir au chlore ou tout autre composé corrosif.
DANGER RISQUE D’ASPHYXIE
CE QUI PEUT SE PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Votre laveuse haute pression fonctionne à des pressions de liquides et des
vitesses suffisamment élevées pour pénétrer la peau de l’homme et animale,
ce qui pourrait se solder par une amputation ou autre blessure grave. Des
fuites provoquées par des raccords lâches ou des tuyaux usés ou endomma-
gés peuvent se solder par des blessures par injection. NE PAS TRAITER UN
INJECTION DE LIQUIDE COMME UNE SIMPLE COUPURE ! Consulter un
médecin immédiatement !
• Inspecter périodiquement le tuyau haute pression. Remplacer immédiatement
le tuyau s’il est endommagé, usé, s’il a fondu en contact avec le moteur ou s’il
démontre un signe de fissure, des bulles, des trous d’épingle ou tout autre fuite.
Ne jamais saisir untuyau haute pression quifuit ou est endommagé.
• Ne jamais toucher, saisir ou essayer de couvrir un trou minuscule ou tout
autre fuite similaire sur le tuyau haute pression.
• Le jet d’eau EST sous haute pression et PÉNÈTRERAla peau.
• Ne jamais mettre les mains devantl’embouchure.
• Éloigner le jet, ne pas le diriger vers soimême ou autrui.
• S’assurer que le tuyau et les raccords sont serrés et en bon état. Ne jamais
s’agripper au tuyau ou aux raccords en cours de fonctionnement.
• Ne pas mettre le tuyau en contact avec le silencieux.
• Ne jamais attacher ou retirer le tube ou les raccords du tuyau avec le système
sous pression.
• Il y a risque de blessures si la pression n’est pas réduite avant d’essayer de
procéder à un entretien ou un démontage. • Pour décompresser le système, éteindre le moteur, fermer l’approvisionnement en eau et enclencher la détente du pistolet jusqu’à l’arrêt
complet de l’écoulement d’eau.
• Utiliser uniquement des tuyaux et accessoires classés pour des pressions
plus élevées que le PSI de la laveuse haute pression.
DANGER RISQUE D’INJECTION ET DE LACÉRATION
CE QUI PEUT SE PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Un jet de liquide à haute vitesse peut briser des objets et projeter les éclats
à haute vitesse.
• Des objets légers ou mal fixés peuvent se transformer en projectiles dan-
gereux.
• Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité conformes à la norme ANSI Z87.1
Porter des vêtements protecteurs pour se protéger de jets accidentels.
• Ne jamais diriger la lance ou le jet vers une personne ou des animaux.
• Toujours fixer solidement le verrou de la détentelorsque le tube pulvérisateur
est inutilisé pour empêcher tout fonctionnement accidentel.
• Ne jamais fixer, de façon permanente, la détente en position arrière (ouverte).
DANGER RISQUE DE BLESSURE PAR JET
