WARNING! Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let go which could cause broken bones,
fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury.
• NEVER pull start 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 at
safety direction, release the grey trigger lock, 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.

16. If engine fails to start after six pulls, move choke lever to the "ON" position, and
then try again.
17. Point spray gun at a safety direction, release the grey trigger lock, and squeeze the
trigger to start your washing work.
NOTE: If the recoil starter is hard to pull, it may be necessary to squeeze the gun trigger
to relieve internal pump pressure.
WARNING! The high pressure stream of water that this pressure washer
produces could cut through skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water
is disconnected, which could result in serious injury.

pressurized.

• 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.
WARNING! Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures
or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.
