NOTE: For the startup procedure, refer to Fig. 5
except where noted otherwise.
Before you start the sprayer
1. Become familiar with how to operate the gun's
trigger safety latch. See Fig. 4 and refer to your
gun instruction manual.
2. Become familiar with the proper way to relieve
pressure. See the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 10.
3. Determine if you should flush the sprayer. See
Flushing on page NO TAG.
4. Check the gas tank level. See page 7.
5. Check the oil level. See page 7.
NOTE: The engine stops automatically, or will not
start, if it is low on oil. If you try to start it again without
adding more oil, a red light near the engine on/off
switch glows as you pull the starter rope.
6. Push the spark plug cable (F) firmly onto the plug.
7. If starting a sprayer that IS NOT PRIMED, remove
the spray tip.
8. If a secondary hose and gun is not installed, be
sure the cap (L) is securely plugging the second-
ary outlet fitting.
9. Place the suction tube (50) into the material
container.
10. Open the black fuel shutoff lever (G). Push it in the
direction of the arrow.
11. Turn OFF the pressure control switch (A).

Startup
Never try to start the engine unless fluid pressure is
relieved and the pressure control switch is OFF.
Trying to start the engine when it is pressurized
could damage the recoil system.
To start the engine
1. Turn the pressure adjusting knob (B) counterclock-
0137
wise to the lowest pressure setting.
2. Slide the metal throttle lever (J) away from the fuel
tank to the maximum position (fully left).
3. If the engine is cold, close the choke (H) by mov-
ing the gray lever.
If the engine is warm, close the choke (H) by mov-
ing the gray lever half way or not at all.
4. Turn ON the engine switch (H).
A rope which recoils too quickly may hit someone
and cause serious bodily injury. The rope could
also jam in recoil assembly.
5. Hold the frame of the sprayer with one hand and
pull the starter rope rapidly and firmly. Hold the
rope as you let it return. Pull and return the rope
until the engine starts.
6. Open the choke (G) as soon as the engine starts,
except in cold weather. In cold weather, leave the
choke closed for 10 to 30 seconds before opening
it to keep the engine running.
7. Disengage the gun safety latch.
To start and prime the pump
1. Open the filter's pressure drain valve (60).
2. Turn ON the pressure control switch (A).
3. Turn the pressure control knob (B) about 1/4 turn
from minimum pressure. Run the pump until fluid is
flowing smoothly from the pressure drain valve,
indicating the pump is fully primed.
