OPERATION 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 pressure washer immediately. Contact customer service or a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may cause property damage. To stop the engine:  Turn the engine stop switch to the OFF position. NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure. NOTE: To ensure easy restarting and maximum performance from the Auto Choke System, allow the engine to run for at least 3 minutes before shutting down. This minimum run time will be longer if the temperature is below 70°F (21°C). WARNING: While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, combustible materials, 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 11. 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. n Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure washer. n Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the nozzle.
