WARNING:
Outdoor use ONLY. DO NOT start or run engine indoors
or in an enclosed area, even if windows and doors are open.
Running engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
poison gas that can cause nausea, fainting or death.
WARNING:
Risk of eye injury. 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. NEVER substitute
safety glasses or dry-condition goggles for indirect vented safety
goggles.
WARNING:
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in
bodily injury. NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving
spray gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until resistance
is felt, then pull rapidly. Kickback will pull hand and arm
toward engine faster than you can let go. High pressure can cause
spray gun to kickback. Hold spray gun with both hands during use.
WARNING:
Failure to read and follow the operator’s
manual and all operating instructions can
result in death, bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
WARNING:
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and
explosive. Turn off engine and wait at least
2 minutes before refueling. Let spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine. Always allow
space for fuel expansion.
WARNING:
High pressure water spray can cut
through skin. Never spray people or animals,
as injury can result. Spray gun traps high
water pressure, even when engine is stopped
and water is disconnected. ALWAYS point spray gun in
safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine.
