Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the
product.
This manual contains information that relates to PROTECTING PERSONAL SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. It is very important to read this manual carefully and
understand it thoroughly before using the product. The symbols listed below are used to indicate this
information.
DANGER
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING
Hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Potential hazard that may result in moderate injury or damage to equipment.
Note: The word “Note” is used to inform the reader of something the operator needs to know about
the tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read and understand the instructions before using
this product.
• To avoid personal injury and/or damage to property and to maximize your power washing
experience, carefully follow all of the safety tips, instructions, warnings and safeguards and become
familiar with all of the controls. Be sure you know how to quickly bleed off the pressure from all parts
of your power washer, and how to turn off the power washer.
• This power washer conforms to CSA and other safety and consumer standards. Do not modify or
rebuild any part of your power washer.
• DO NOT use your power washer when you are under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Use this
power tool carefully and only when you are alert.
• Watch your balance and footing while using your power washer. Surfaces become slippery when
wet and are extra slippery when using a detergent or cleaner.
• NEVER operate the power washer in bare feet, sandals, or open-toed shoes.
• When using the power washer near children, make sure they are closely supervised by an adult to
avoid injury. Never let a child use the power washer.
• Keep ngers, hands, feet and any part of your body clear of the stream of high pressure water. The
powerful spray can cause blindness or blast holes in the skin. It can break a window if you are too
close when you pull the trigger on the spray gun.
•ALWAYS wear eye protection to prevent injury to eyes when operating the power washer.
• To avoid mishaps or injury, always use the trigger safety lock when not using the power washer even
if the spraying stops for a moment.
• Point the spray gun in a safe direction when beginning a power washing session.
SAFETY INFORMATION

kobalttools.com
SAFETY INFORMATION
• When rst using the spray gun, hold the spray gun and lance with two hands when pulling the
trigger (one hand to pull the trigger and the other to stabilize the gun assembly) until you get used to
the “kickback” from the spray gun.
• When you press the power switch to turn off the power washer, water pressure may remain in the
system. To discharge the pressure, point the spray gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger.
• NEVER spray ammable liquids.
• NEVER use the power washer in areas that contain combustible dust, liquids or vapors.
• Avoid contact of the pressure hose with sharp objects and examine the hose regularly. Replace if
damaged. Due to the high pressure involved, it cannot be repaired if cut or damaged.
• Only use detergent specically formulated for power washers and follow instructions on the
detergent’s label.
• Protect eyes, lungs, and skin from exposure to detergent. Dish or laundry soap is too thick and will
clog the nozzle of your detergent bottle.
IMPORTANT: Store the power washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from expanding under
freezing conditions. When the water freezes and expands, your power washer will be damaged and
become inoperable. Or, if storing outdoors, it is recommended you use an antifreeze (not included) to
protect pumps.
• NEVER use hot water with your power washer. It will overheat and damage the high pressure pump.
• NEVER leave the power washer unattended while it is powered “on”.
• ALWAYS turn the water supply “on ” before turning the power washer power to “on”. Running the
pump dry will cause damage to the internal components.
• NEVER use a water supply to your power washer that exceeds 150 PSI maximum.
• NEVER disconnect the high pressure hose from the power washer while the system is pressurized.
• NEVER permanently engage the trigger mechanisms on the spray gun.
• NEVER operate the power washer unless all components are properly and securely connected.
• NEVER allow the power washer pump to run for more than one minute after you have turned off the
water supply. This can cause the motor and pump to overheat and fail.
• NEVER use lances or other parts that have not been supplied with your power washer.
• NEVER spray any electrical outlet with your power washer.
• Inspect the power cord before using. Do not use it if it is damaged.
