Setup
11. Observe the following cautions to avoid pressure
control damage.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, follow these
precautions.
1. Allow the main hose to act as a pulsation damp-
ener: Always use nylon spray hose at least 50 ft.
(15.2 m) long for the main gun; Never use a wire
braid hose; it is too rigid.
2. Never install a ball valve or shutof f device be-
tween the filter and the 50 ft. (15 m) hose.
3. Do not allow water or water–base material to
freeze in the pressure control.
CAUTION
Close the black fuel shutoff lever whenever you are
transporting the sprayer to prevent fuel from flooding
the engine.
Keep the sprayer upright and level when operating it
and when transporting it. This prevents crankcase oil
from leaking into the combustion chamber , which
makes startup very difficult
12. To use the wheel brake, lift the brake handle (A– bot-
tom rear of cart) to engage the brake. Lower the han-
dle to disengage the break. See Fig. 3. For positive
break engagement, be sure there is proper tire pres-
sure and that tire wear is not excessive.
13. For how to operate and adjust the various features
of the Line Lazer, see pages 12 – 22.
14. Start the sprayer. See page 14.

Fueling
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive un-
der certain conditions. To reduce the risk of a fire or
explosion:
1. Always shut off the engine before refueling.
2. Refuel in a well–ventilated area.
3. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the
area where the engine is refueled or where the
gasoline is stored.
4. Do not overfill the tank. Make sure the filler cap
is securely closed after refueling.
5. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel can ignite. If any fuel is
spilled during refueling, make sure the area is dry
before starting the engine.
1. Fuel specifications. Use automotive gasoline with a
pump octane number of 86 or higher . If the engine
knocks or pings, use a higher octane fuel. Unleaded
fuel minimizes combustion chamber deposits.
2. Gasolines containing alcohol (gasohol). Do not use
gasohol which contains methanol, if the
gasohol
does not contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors
for methanol. Even if it does contain such additives,
do not use the gasohol if it contains more than 5%
methanol.
NOTE:
The HONDA engine warranty does not cover
damage resulting from the use of gasolines containing al-
cohol. See the HONDA engine manual for more informa-
tion.
3. General. Do not use oil and gasoline mixtures or con-
taminated gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water
in the fuel tank.
4. Tank capacity: 0.95 gallons (3.6 liter). Leave 1/2 in.
(13 mm) at the top of the tank for gas expansion.
5. Shut off the engine switch (A) before refueling.
6. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap (B) firmly.
