adequate safety goggles.
• NEVER substitute safety glasses for safety goggles.
12. When starting engine, position yourself as
recommended, grasp handle and pull recoil starter
lightly until you feel some resistance, then pull briskly.
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 spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
NOTE: Engine has an automatic idle control. The idle control
will slow engine down when trigger is released.

back" against starter.

15. After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run,
always point gun in safe direction, press red button and
squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
Move choke lever to "Choke" position, and repeat steps

to release the trigger lock, and pull the trigger.
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 reel 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.
