Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Let spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine. Always allow space for fuel expansion.

NEVER pull starter cord without first relievingspray gun pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
