DISCHARGE
•Connect high pressure hose to discharge on pump.
•Connect the garden hose to the water spout and turn water supply on.
•Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to relieve air pressure caused by turning on the water. Water will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will make it easier to start the engine.
•Engage the safety latch on the spray gun. This locks the trigger in place and keeps you from accidentally spraying a high pressure stream.
SAFETY

•Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resis- tance is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
NOTE: If engine does not start right away, squeeze the trigger on the gun to relieve air pressure caused by turning on the water. Water will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will make it easier to pull start the engine. If more than five pulls, place choke lever back to run position.
•When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to RUN position.
•For hot engine restarts, make sure throttle is in the rabbit (high speed) position and the choke lever is in the RUN position.
•Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resis- tance is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
