Operating the Washer
STARTING AND OPERATING ENGINE
CAUTION: Do not run engine in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
poisonous gas that can cause sickness or death.
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible pump damage, do not allow
washer pump to run in bypass (with gun trigger
released) for longer than 3 minutes.
IMPORTANT: During rst two hours of engine operation, engine
may operate at low or erratic RPM as the engine
moving parts break in.
1. Pull choke control lever (B) out to “CHOKE” position.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking than a cold
engine.
2. Move throttle lever (C) up to the fast (or high) position.
NOTE: For best engine performance it is recommended the engine
be operated with the throttle in the FAST or HIGH position
3. Place foot on washer frame.
4. Point nozzle away from people, animals or fragile materials
and squeeze gun trigger. If trigger is not squeezed while pulling
recoil starter, pressure will build up until recoil starter can not
be pulled over.
CAUTION: Be sure nozzle output end is not directed at
bystander or objects. Pressurized output spray will start
almost instantaneously at engine start-up and can cause
serious personal injury or property damage. Release
trigger immediately upon engine start.
5. Pull recoil starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull
briskly until engine starts.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow starter grip to snap back against
engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
starter.

up enough to run smoothly. If engine is warm, push choke
lever in as soon as engine starts.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: To stop engine in emergency, turn throttle (C)
down to “STOP” position.
1. Move throttle lever (C) down to “STOP” position.
