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 and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure. Engage spray gun trigger lock.
