CAUTION
• Close black fuel shutoff lever
whenever you are transporting
sprayer to prevent fuel from
flooding engine.
• Keep sprayer upright and level
when operating and when trans-
porting. This prevents crankcase
oil from leaking into combustion
chamber, which makes start up
very difficult.
CAUTION

of 10 minutes or use an
insulating glove, before
disconnecting air lines or
attempting to restart.
