the pressure washer. STIHL
recommends using a STIHL-branded
high-pressure replacement/extension
hose that is marked for use with your
specific model pressure washer.
Protect the high-pressure hose against
heat and oil. It must never be crushed,
kinked or twisted. Check that all
connections are secure and tight before
starting work.
WARNING
Inspect the spray lance and spray gun
for damage before starting work. The
trigger on the spray gun must move
easily and automatically return to its
starting position when released. The
trigger lockout must be in proper working
condition. Keep the gripping surfaces
clean at all times; it is particularly
important to keep them free of pitch, oil,
fuel, grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your pressure washer.
If using a replacement spray gun or
lance, ensure that it is rated for the
maximum PSI of the pressure washer.
STIHL recommends using STIHL-
branded replacement parts that are
marked for use with your specific model
pressure washer.
To prevent overheating and permanent
damage to the pressure washer, always
check the engine and pump for proper
oil levels before starting work. See also
the "Maintenance" chapter in this
instruction manual and the appropriate
section in the Kohler owner's manual for
additional information about maintaining
the proper oil level.

Always connect and turn on the water
supply to the pump before starting the
engine. Do not operate the pressure
washer without water. Running the
pressure washer without water will
cause the pump to overheat, which may
result in permanent damage.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
Know how to stop the pressure washer
and relieve pressures quickly.
Starting
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, start the engine at least 10 feet
(3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors
only.
WARNING
Your pressure washer is a one-person
machine. To reduce the risk of eye or
other injury from water spray and blown
or sprayed objects, keep bystanders out
of the working area. Engage the trigger
lockout on the spray gun and stop the
engine immediately if you are
approached.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the pressure washer on a flat and
firm ground or other solid surface in an
open area. Maintain good balance and
secure footing.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope slowly back to
permit the rope to rewind properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injuries to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
For specific starting instructions, see the
"Starting" chapter in this instruction
manual and the appropriate section of
the Kohler engine manual.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Spray
Attachment
WARNING
The spray jet causes reactive forces on
the spray attachment in a direction
opposite to the direction of the spray
(recoil or kickback). Hold the spray
attachment firmly with both hands in
order to control the reactive forces,
including any additional torque
produced when using angled spray
attachments or an angled spray lance.
