SAFETY RULES FOR PETROL ENGINES
Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion, such as
exhaust fumes from the engine. Carbon monoxide is colorless,
odorless and tasteless and can kill in a matter of minutes.
Gas particulate filters and respirators will not protect someone from carbon
monoxide poisoning. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning appear,
take the affected person outdoors immediately and away from all structures
and equipment that could produce the gas. Call for emergency medical treat-
ment and make them aware of the situation.
Operate Waterblaster only outdoors. Do not allow exhaust gas fumes to enter
confined areas through windows, open doors, ventilation ducts and other
openings.
Do not start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, such as a garage
(even if windows and doors are open). This also applies to the engine com-
partment of a recreational vehicle (RV).
Install a battery powered Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector near all bedrooms to
alert occupants of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a
colorless, odorless, very poisonous gas.
The Emission Control System for engine is warranted for standards set forth by
the EPA/Environmental Protection Agency and CARB/California Air Resources
Board.
7

SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely toxic gas that
can KILL in a matter of minutes. Breathing air containing carbon monoxide
produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy
feeling and finally coma. Moderate or severe brain damage can result from inhaling
air containing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete
combustion of fuels and occurs in exhaust fumes of fuel-burning heaters and all
internal combustion engines. Carbon Monoxide collects in spaces where there is no
constant air flow or ventilation. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak due to
exposure to CO while using a petrol engine, GET TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
ADDING OR DRAINING PETROL TO OR FROM THE ENGINE
Petrol and petrol vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire and explosion can result in severe burns
and even death.
• Turn engine to the OFF position and let cool at least two minutes before
removing petrol cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in petrol tank.
• DO NOT fill or drain petrol tank inside enclosed structures. Accidental sparks
can result in fires or explosions leading to severe burns and even death.
• DO NOT overfill petrol tank. Leave ample space for expansion of petrol.
• DO NOT start engine in area of petrol spillage. Fire and explosion can occur.
• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other ignition
sources. DO NOT smoke while operating the engine.
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at an angle that could result in petrol spilling
from petrol tank.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can
pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster than it can be let
go of. Failure to be aware of this function can result in broken
bones, fractures, bruises and sprains can result.
• When starting the engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
8

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Failure to observe this warning can result in property
damage, severe burns and/or death.
• Ensure spark plug is in place before attempting to start engine.
• Ensure muffler is secured to engine before starting.
• Ensure petrol cap is on petrol tank and tightened securely.
• Ensure air cleaner is clean and properly attached to engine.
A dirty air cleaner element changes the air to petrol ratio and
promotes incomplete combustion of petrol increasing the output
of carbon monoxide. Always make sure air cleaner element is
clean before every operation of the engine.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug wire removed. The resulting spark
could ignite spilled petrol.
Do not contact muffler area with engine running. Muffler gets
extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Exhaust gases can
ignite combustible items such as clothing or structures in close
proximity. Gases leaking from worn muffler can heat up and damage
petrol tank resulting in fire or explosion.
• DO NOT touch hot parts of engine or muffler.
• AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Keep a minimum of 1.5 m clearance on all sides of the engine including top.
Starter and other rotating parts of engine can entangle hair, hands,
clothing and accessories.
• NEVER operate with protective housing or covers removed.
• DO NOT use while wearing loose clothing or jewelry that might get caught up
in starter or other rotating parts. Tie up long hair or wear hair net or cap.
9

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE
Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to
engine. Excessively low speeds produce heavy load on engine.
• DO NOT attempt to alter pre-set governed speed. Engine governor is factory
set to supply optimum output horse power (HP) when running at governed speed.
• DO NOT modify engine in any way.
TESTING SPARK PLUG FOR SPARK
• DO NOT check spark plug for spark by removing from cylinder head.
• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip with
non-conducting material such as electrical tape to prevent it from coming in
contact with spark plug, petrol tank or other parts of the engine where damage
can result from sparking.
• Replace a defective spark plug only with authorized parts.
•Use approved spark plug tester.
TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING WATERBLASTER
Turn off the Waterblaster before transport. Use caution when moving the
Waterblaster. Oil/petrol can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard,
serious injury or death. Oil/petrol leaks will damage carpet, paint, or other surfaces
in vehicles or trailers. Be sure to use the handle to lift or carry the Waterblaster.
•The wheel kit is not designed for over-the-road use. Waterblaster
must be transported in a vehicle or on a trailer.
•Unit is heavy.Take care when lifting or moving unit.
• Transport or repair with petrol tank EMPTY to prevent an unintentional spark
igniting petrol vapors resulting in a fire or an explosion.
• Transport or repair with spark plug wire DISCONNECTED.
10

STORING PETROL OR EQUIPMENT WITH PETROL IN PETROL TANK
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters,
clothes dryers, and all other appliances with pilot lights or other ignition
sources. These appliances can heat petrol tanks and ignition sources can
ignite petrol vapors.
SAFETY RULES FOR WATERBLASTER

WATERBLASTER TERMINOLOGY
Following are common terms associated with the use of waterblasters:
PSI: Pounds per square inch – common unit measure used for water pressure, air
pressure, hydraulic pressure and pounds of force.
LPM: Liters per minute – common unit measure used for flow rate of water.
.
Bypass Mode: In bypass mode, high pressure pump recirculates water because
spray gun trigger is not squeezed.
Thermal Relief Valve: When in Bypass Mode, this valve releases a jet of water to
prevent water temperatures from reaching harmful levels that damage the pump. Once
the water has cooled, the thermal relief valve will reset itself. Do not allow pump to run
without spraying (in Bypass Mode) for more than 2 minutes.

SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
To prevent damage to your surface and to select an
appropriate nozzle size for your application, always start with lowest pressure
nozzle size (White) and continue changing to the higher nozzle size until the
best work result is achieved.
The Waterblaster comes furnished with five spray nozzles. Each nozzle is color
coded and delivers a specific spray pattern and pressure for a particular cleaning
job. The size of the nozzle determines the size of the fan spray and the pressure out
of the nozzle.
0° Nozzle – Red: This nozzle delivers a pinpoint stream of pressurized
water and is extremely powerful. It covers only a small area of cleaning. This
nozzle should only be directed at surfaces that can withstand high pressure
such as metal or concrete. Do not use this nozzle to clean wood.
The Waterblaster nozzles are stored in receptacles on a panel mounted to the han-
dle of the washer. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray panel.
NOZZLES TO SPRAY WAND
Never place hands in front of nozzle. Never grasp hose or fittings during
Waterblaster operation. Never attempt to attach or remove spray wand or hose
fittings while Waterblaster system is pressurized.
Turn off waterblaster, release pressure by pulling gun trigger then lock the
gun trigger before attempting to change pressure nozzles.

Chemical Nozzle – Black: This nozzle is used to apply special chemi-
cals and cleaning solutions. This nozzle produces the weakest pressure
stream of the five nozzles.
15° Nozzle – Yellow: This nozzle delivers a powerful 15 degree spray
pattern for intense cleaning of small areas. This nozzle should only be
used on areas and materials that can withstand high pressure.
25° Nozzle – Green: This nozzle delivers a 25 degree spray pattern for
intense cleaning of larger areas. This nozzle should only be used on
areas that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.
40° Nozzle – White: This nozzle delivers a 40 degree spray pattern and
a less powerful stream of water. This nozzle can cover a wide area and
should be used for most general cleaning jobs.
