WARNING Failure to read and follow the operator's
manual and all operating instructions could
result in death, serious injury, and/or property

serious injury and/or property damage. Turn
pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least
2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Let spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine. Always allow space for
fuel expansion.

bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting
in serious injury. NEVER pull starter cord without first
relieving spray gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Firmly grasp
spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
