Warnings
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 result.
ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to
release pressure and avoid kickback each time, before starting engine.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
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.

WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Temperature of muffler and nearby
areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel
tank causing a fire.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of pressure washer
including overhead.
Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Prop-
erty require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have
a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to
USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of
California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California
Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can
pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped
and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals or plants.
