WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in
bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could
result.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
STARTING THE WATER PUMP
IMPORTANT:
If excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel mixture causing a
“flooded” condition, move choke lever to “Run” position and pull handle
repeatedly until engine starts.
8. Move choke lever to “Run” position a short distance at a time over
several seconds in warm weather or minutes in cold weather. Let
engine run smoothly before each change. Operate with choke in “Run”
position.
IMPORTANT:
It may take a few minutes for water pump to begin
pumping water.
WARNING
Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures
or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of pressure
washer including overhead.
Pump output is controlled by adjusting engine speed. Moving the engine
speed lever in the “Fast” direction will increase pump output, and moving
the engine speed lever in the “Slow” direction will decrease pump output.
