Quick Start Guide
3100 MAX PSI* Pressure Washer
WARNING Outdoor use ONLY. DO NOT start or run
engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even
if windows and doors are open. Running
engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, poison gas that can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
can result in bodily injury. NEVER pull
starter cord without first relieving spray
gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Kickback will pull
hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
High pressure can cause spray gun to kickback. Hold
spray gun with both hands during use.
WARNING Risk of eye injury. Spray can splash
back or propel objects. Always wear indirect
vented (chemical splash) safety goggles,
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
using or in vicinity of this equipment. NEVER substitute
safety glasses or dry-condition goggles for indirect
vented safety goggles.
