WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. If engine does not start after two
pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent
hand or arm injury.

WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without
the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to
the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal
relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the
internal temperature. The valve will then close.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Stand on a stable surface and
grip gun/spray wand firmly with both hands. Expect the gun to kick
when triggered.
13. Release trigger to stop water flow.
WARNING: Risk of injury from spray. Always engage
