Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback)
will pull hand and arm toward engine faster
than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains
could result.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is
felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• If engine starts and fails to continue to run or if increased
resistance is felt during starting pull attempts, squeeze
trigger on spray gun.

WARNING
Running engines produce heat.
Temperature of muffler and nearby areas
can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, etc. can catch fire.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• The pressure washer must be at least 5 feet from
structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials.
• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of pressure
washer for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester,
it must be maintained in effective working order.
How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
1. Let engine idle for two minutes.
2. Move throttle lever on engine to "Stop" position.
3. Squeeze trigger on spray gun to relieve
trapped pressure in hose to avoid injury.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun retains high pressure when
pressure washer is shut down, which can
cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• Squeeze trigger on spray gun to relieve trapped
pressure, every time you stop engine. Engage trigger
lock on spray gun.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when
pressure is released.
4. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use.
How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you
to switch between four different spray tips. The spray
tips vary the spray pattern as shown above.
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
• NEVER exchange spray tips without locking the trigger
lock on the trigger.
