For a cold engine, move engine control lever to CHOKE
position. Fora warm engine move engine control lever
to RUN position,
Adjust safely latch to the ON position. This disables
the trigger so you cannot inadvertently actuate a high
pressure spray (Fig, 20).

system. The engine will not start unless the oil crankcase
is filled to proper level. If engine shuts down during opera­

case oil level and add oil if required.

SÌPHONING
We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water supply
from sources other than from connecting to household
water supply.
TIPS
Grasp the engine starter recoil handle and pull back
slowly until you feel some resistance. Then pul! rope
rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback
and start engine. Let rope return slowly {Fig. 21).
When engine starts, move choke lever to RUN position
and throttle control to FAST position. If engine fails to
start, move choke lever to RUN position and pull starter
rope (max. 2 pulls).
If engine fails to start, repeal the process up to three
times, then check Troubleshooting Chart.
Initially clean an area and then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, you can assume it is
okay to continue cleaning. Detergents work best when
applied to dry surface.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle be­
tween 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface.
Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing.
For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed
and work upward, using long, even overlapping
strokes.
For rinsing, push the nozzle sleeve to high pressure
and wait for detergent to clear. Start at the top of area
to be rinsed, working down with the same action as for
cleaning.
Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or
wax.
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning
surface.
If you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
Do not get closer than B inches when cleaning automo­
bile tires.
