HOSE SAFETY
Highpressurefluid inthe hoses canbevery dangerous. Ifthe hose develops aleak, split or rupture dueto any kind of wear, damage or misuse,the high pressure spray emittedfrom it can causefluida injectioninjuryor other seriousbodily injury or property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE STRAIN RELIEFSON BOTH ENDS. The strain reliefs help protect the hose from kinks or bends at or close to the coupling, which can resultin hose rupture.
TlGHTEN all fluid connectionssecurelybefore each 'use. High pressurefluid can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high pressure spray to be emitted fromthe coupling.
NNER use a damaged hose. Beforeeach use, check entire hose forcuts, leaks, abrasion,bulgingcover, or damage or movement of thehose couplings. If any of these condRions exist, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT try to recouple high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other device.A repaired hose cannot contain thehigh pressure fluid.
