• Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 8).
• Move the fuel valve to the “ON” position (Figure 9).
The valve is found directly above the recoil starter.
• To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the
“ FULL ” position (all the way to the left). To restart a
warm engine, leave the choke lever all the way to
the right. Figure 10 shows the engine controls. Also
refer to engine owner’s manual for detailed starting
instructions.
• Set the engine Run/Stop switch to the “RUN”
position (Figure 10).
• Grasp starter grip and pull slowly until you feel some
resistance. Then pull cord out with rapid full arm
stroke. Let rope return slowly. Do Not let rope “snap
back” against starter.
• If the choke lever was moved to the “ Full ” choke
position to start the engine, gradually move it to the
“ No ” choke position as the engine warms up.
How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
• Move the engine Run/Stop switch to the “ STOP ”
position.
• Simply shutting off the engine will not release
pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.
