DANGER: RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• If proper starting procedure is not followed, engine can
kickback causing serious hand and arm injury. • If engine does not start after two pulls, squeeze trigger of
gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback
and prevent hand or arm injury.
• The spray gun/wand is a powerful cleaning tool that could look
like a toy to a child. • Keep children away from the pressure washer at all times.
• Reactive force of spray will cause gun/wand to kickback,
