Important - Echo PW-3100 Manual Del Usaurio

STARTING YOUR WASHER
10. To start the machine, locate the engine switch on the side of the engine
(if applicable), and switch it to the ON position. Units with a Honda GC
engine have the power switch built into the throttle lever. Check to ensure
fuel valve is in the ON position and if starting cold, apply the choke.
Reference the component diagrams for the location of these parts.
11. Brace the unit with your foot and ensure that you are completely balanced
on a flat surface. Pull recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback. DO NOT place hand on engine muffler for
balance as this will result in a severe burn. Once the engine is running,
disengage the choke lever.
• Operate pressure washer outdoors, never indoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if
windows and doors are open.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the pressure washer, ensure you
are wearing adequate safety goggles.
• Always wear safety goggles when using this equipment or while in
vicinity of where equipment is in use.
