cause fainting, sickness, seizures, or death.
• Keep exhaust from this unit from entering a confined area
through windows, doors, vents, or other openings.
• When working in areas where vapors could be inhaled, use a
respirator mask according to all of its instructions.
Do not run pressure washer with a damaged hose. Do not run
pressure washer without first connecting and turning on water
supply or damage to the pressure washer could result. Failure to

• Turn on water.
• Purge the system’s pump of air by releasing the safety and
squeezing the trigger of the spray gun.

• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position.

• Pull the recoil handle (starter cord) slowly until resistance is
felt, then pull rapidly.
• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually slide the
choke lever to the RUN position as the engine warms up until
the choke is fully slid to the RUN position.
Starter cord recoils rapidly pulling arm towards engine faster
than you can let go which could result in injury.
