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.
•NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
•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 spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
•Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
