WARNING
Failure to read and follow the operator’s
manual and all operating instructions can
result in death, bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and
explosive. Turn off engine and wait at least
2 minutes before refueling. Let spilled fuel
evaporate before starting engine. Always allow
space for fuel expansion.
WARNING

through skin. Never spray people or animals,
as injury can result. Spray gun traps high
water pressure, even when engine is stopped
and water is disconnected. ALWAYS point spray gun in
safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine.
WARNING
Outdoor use ONLY. DO NOT start or run
engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even
if windows and doors are open. Running
engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, poison gas that can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction)
can result in bodily injury. NEVER pull
starter cord without first relieving spray
gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Kickback will pull
hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
High pressure can cause spray gun to kickback. Hold
spray gun with both hands during use.

back or propel objects. Always wear indirect
vented (chemical splash) safety goggles,
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
