Section 4: Operation

8. Start engine according to instructions given in engine
owner's manual. Also see operating instructions tag
located on the pressure washer.
WARNING
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.
NOTE: Always keep the throttle lever in the "Fast"
position when operating the pressure washer.
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.
