Figure 12 - Recommended Starting Position
• ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release pressure and avoid kickback each time,
before starting engine.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always
point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to
release high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when gun kicks back.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will
pull hand and arm toward engine faster than
you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
