Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result
in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
• NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always
point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to
release high pressure. Engage spray gun trigger lock.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when gun kicks back.
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate pressure washer.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.
• DO NOT secure spray gun in open position.
• DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is running.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or
trigger guard in place and in working order.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are
correctly attached.
NOTE: Always keep the throttle lever in the "Fast" position
when operating the pressure washer.
Contact with muffler area can result in serious
burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of pressure
washer including overhead.
• Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and
Public Property require equipment powered by an internal
combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in
