WARNING
■ When the lever of the spray gun is released, a
recoil occurs in the high-pressure hose. A
recoil expands the high-pressure hose. If the
high-pressure hose is not completely unwound
from the hose reel, there is no room for the
high-pressure hose to expand and the high-
pressure hose may be damaged. Water can
escape uncontrollably into the environment at
high pressure. This may result in serious injury
to people and damage to property.
► Completely unroll high-pressure hose.
