 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.
•  NEVER pull the starter cord without first relieving the spray gun 
pressure.
• When starting the engine, pull the cord slowly until resistance is 
felt, then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
•  After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point 
the spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze the spray gun trigger 
to release high pressure.
• Firmly grasp the spray gun with both hands when using high 
pressure spray to avoid injury when the spray gun kicks back.
7.  Return the starter grip handle slowly. DO NOT let the rope 
“snap back” against the starter.

8.  When the engine starts, slowly the move choke lever to the 
“OPEN” position as the engine warms. If the engine falters, 
move the choke lever to the “CLOSE” position, then to the 
“OPEN” position (Figure 29).

9.  After each starting attempt, where the engine fails to run, 
always point the gun in a safe direction, and squeeze the 
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
10. If the engine fails to start after six pulls, move the choke lever 
to the “OPEN” position, and repeat steps 6 through 10.
 The high pressure stream of water that this equipment 
produces can cut through skin and its underlying 
tissues, leading to serious injury, possible amputation 
or death. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even 
when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, 
which can cause injury.
• DO NOT allow CHILDREN to operate the power washer or play 
nearby.
•  Keep the high pressure hose connected to the pump and spray gun 
while the system is pressurized.
•  NEVER aim the spray gun at people, animals or electrical devices. 
Serious injury will result.
•  DO NOT secure the spray gun in the open position.
• DO NOT leave the spray gun unattended while the machine is 
running.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or 
trigger guard in place and in working order.
• Always be certain the spray gun, nozzles and accessories are 
correctly attached.
 Contact with the muffler area can result in 
serious burns. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite 
combustibles, structures or damage the fuel 
tank causing a fire.
•  DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
•  Allow the equipment to cool before touching.
•  Keep at least five (5) feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of the 
power washer including overhead.
•  It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, 
to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, 
or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with 
a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective 
working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have 
similar laws.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same 
position as the original parts.
AUTOMATIC COOL DOWN SYSTEM (THERMAL 
RELIEF)
If you run the engine on your power washer for 3-5 minutes 
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water 
in the pump can reach temperatures above 125°F. The system 
engages to cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto 
the ground.
ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE SETTING
Your pressure washer pump is equipped with a feature that allows 
you to adjust the pressure setting. The pump is preset at the 
factory to achieve the highest possible pressure. To decrease the 
pressure, turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the 
desired pressure. Turning the pressure control knob clockwise 
until it stops will set the pressure back to the factory setting.
