WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. When adding
gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit is sitting
on a flat, level surface and only add fuel outdoors. If the
engine is hot, let the pressure washer cool for at least five
minutes before adding gas. Immediately replace fuel cap
after fueling and tighten until the cap "clicks." Move at
least 30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do
not smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks!
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire
and cause serious personal injury.

OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 9 - 11.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
 Open the fuel valve.
 Push the choke lever to the START position.
 Pull the starter grip and rope until the engine runs (a
maximum of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
 Pull the trigger to relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until
a steady stream of water appears.
WARNING:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pres-
sure before attempting to start the engine again. Failure
to relieve water pressure can cause the starter grip and
rope to lock up and result in serious personal injury.
 As the engine warms up, move the choke lever slowly to
the RUN position.
 Let the engine warm up a few minutes before using.
To stop the engine:
 Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
 Pull trigger to release water pressure.
