!
1. Read the operator's manual before
starting this unit.
Failure to adhere to instructions could result in
severe personal injury, property damage, or
could be fatal.
2. Operate this mobile cleaning only in a
well- ventilated area.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless and deadly poison that can
cause severe injury or death. DO NOT operate
this unit in an enclosed area. DO NOT operate
this unit where the exhaust may enter a
building doorway, window, vent or other
opening.
3. DO NOT place hands, feet, hair, clothing or
any body parts near rotating or moving parts.
Rotating machinery can cause severe injury or
death.
4. NEVER operate this unit without belt and
safety guards. High speed moving parts, such
as belts and pulleys, should be avoided while
the unit is running. Severe injury, fatality or
damage may result.
5. NEVER service this unit while it is running.
High speed mechanical parts as well as high
temperature components may result in injury or
severed limbs.
6. The engine and other components will be
extremely hot from operation. To prevent
severe burns, DO NOT touch these areas while
the unit is running or shortly after the unit is
shut off.
7. DO NOT touch the exhaust diverter valve or
any part of the exhaust system while the system
is running or for 20 minutes after the unit is
shut off. Severe burns could result.
8. Water under high pressure at high
temperature can cause burns, severe
personal injury, or fatality. Shut down unit,
allow to cool down and relieve system of all
pressure before removing caps, valves, plugs,
fittings, filters or hardware.
9. Battery acid contains sulfuric acid. To
prevent acid burns, avoid contact with skin,
eyes and clothing. Batteries also produce
explosive hydrogen gases while charging. To
prevent fire or explosion, charge batteries only
in a well ventilated area. Keep sparks, open
flames, as well as other sources of ignition
away from battery at all times. Remove all
jewelry prior to servicing batteries. Keep
batteries out of the reach of children.
Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground
cable, ensure that all switches are in the off
position. If on, a spark could occur at the
ground connection terminal which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline
vapors are present. ALWAYS disconnect the
negative (-) terminal first.
10. DO NOT exceed your vehicles weight
limit. GVW (Isuzu NPR) 14,250 lbs. This will
prevent unsafe or hazardous driving conditions.
11. Always keep your vehicle clean and
orderly. Wands, tools and accessories must be
securely stowed while driving the vehicle.
12. All high-pressure hoses must be rated at
3000 PSI and have a heat rating of 250° F.
Thermoplastic hoses do not meet this criteria,
and should never be used. Severe burns,
damage to property or fatality could result if
hoses do not meet these requirements.
13. Ensure that you have received proper
training from the distributor that you purchased
the unit from prior to operation.
14. This unit produces high pressure and high
temperatures. Improper use could result in
serious injury or fatality.
