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.

indirect vented safety goggles.
10. When starting engine, position yourself as
recommended, grasp handle and pull recoil starter
lightly until you feel some resistance, then pull briskly.
WARNING: Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can
result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and
arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains
could result.
• NEVER pull starter 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 in safe direction, press red button 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.
11. Return recoil starter slowly. DO NOT let rope "snap
back" against starter.

WARNING: The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
