in the Assembly section.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 10 - 12.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Turn the fuel valve to the open position.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
 Pull choke out to the start position.
NOTE: If restarting after a brief stop (i.e., after refueling
or moving), leave the choke lever in the run position.
 Press the engine start switch to start the engine.
NOTE: The battery may require charging before the pres-
sure washer can be started using only the engine start
switch.
 The pressure washer can also be started by pulling the
starter grip and rope until the engine runs.
 Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance is
felt. Give the starter grip a short, brisk pull to start the
engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
NOTICE:
If the starter grip and rope becomes difficult to pull,
squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure before at-
tempting to start the engine again.
OPERATION
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke to the run position.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.
To stop the engine:
 Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
 Turn the fuel valve to the closed position.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clear-
ance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Al-
low a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before
storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, combustible ma-
terials, and hoses away from the muffler. Heat created by
muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause
serious burns, ignite combustible objects, and/or damage
high pressure hoses that can result in an injection injury.
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
 Push the lock out down and into its original position.
