THE SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON
PAGE 5.
WARNING
Avoid accidentally starting the pressure
washer during maintenance by removing
the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
Allow hot components to cool to
the touch prior to performing any
maintenance procedure.
Internal pressure can build in the engine
crankcase while the engine is running.

the engine is hot can cause extremely hot
oil to spray out of the crankcase and can
severely burn skin. Allow engine oil to
cool for several minutes before removing
the oil ll plug/dipstick.
Always perform maintenance in a well
ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel
vapors are extremely ammable and can
ignite under certain conditions.
CAUTION
Avoid skin contact with engine oil or
gasoline. Prolonged skin contact with
engine oil or gasoline can be harmful.
Frequent and prolonged contact with
engine oil may cause skin cancer. Take
protective measures and wear protec-
tive clothing and equipment. Wash all
exposed skin with soap and water.
WARNING
Failure to perform periodic maintenance
or not following maintenance procedures
can cause the pressure washer to
malfunction and could result in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
Periodic maintenance intervals vary depending on
pressure washer operating conditions. Operating the
pressure washer under severe conditions, such as
sustained high-load, high-temperature, or unusually
wet or dusty environments, will require more frequent
periodic maintenance. The intervals listed in the
maintenance schedule should be treated only as a
