Sweep away any large debris from horizontal surfaces.

If the pressure washer is not equipped with an easy start feature, squeeze the spray gun trigger to relieve the pressure in the water pump.

Safety Tips

Operational Safety
  • Read both the owner’s manual and engine manual in their entirety before operating your pressure washer.
  • Make sure the unit is on a stable surface and the cleaning area has adequate slopes and drainage to prevent puddles.
  • Do not run the power washer before connecting and turning on the water supply-failing to do so will result in damage to the pump.
  • Always keep the high-pressure hose connected to both the pump and the spray gun while the system is pressurized.
  • Never refuel a hot or running engine. Wait two minutes before refueling.

pressure washer usage safety Usage Safety
  • Assume a solid stance and firmly grasp the spray gun with both hands to avoid injury if the gun kicks back.
  • Use extreme caution when spraying near power lines, service feeds, and electrical meters.
  • Keep the nozzle spray away from electrical wiring and windows.
  • Do not secure the spray gun in the open position.
  • Never adjust the spray pattern or change a spray tip while spraying.
  • Using a pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or other unstable position is not recommended. A slip or fall could result from the recoil of the initial spray, or the pressure of the water striking a wall surface.

Personal Safety
  • Never aim the nozzle at people or animals-the high-pressure stream of water can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury.
  • Never allow children to operate the pressure washer. Do not leave a pressure washer unattended while it is running.
  • Do not wear open-toed shoes while pressure washing.
  • Most importantly, always wear eye protection when using a pressure washer or when in the vicinity of the equipment in use. The high-pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to become airborne.
  • Always squeeze the gun trigger after use to relieve the pressure in the gun, hose, and pump.
