octane gas and two cycle engine oil. Note: 50:1 pre-mix fuel is ideal for this product as it
contains fuel stabilizer to ensure longevity of the equipment. Premix fuel can be found at
your local hardware store or auto shop.
2. After starting the engine, keep the throttle at a low speed for several minutes before
running at full throttle.
3. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. When operating keep away from any flames.
Do not smoke while operating.
4. Do not spray in the direction of others.
5. Understand the operation of the machine and understand how to shut off the equipment
quickly in case of an emergency.

WARNINGS
This is concrete sprayer is meant for use with water-based or waterborne compounds
only. Do not spray solvent-based or explosive liquids with this sprayer. Failure to comply
may cause serious bodily harm or death.
Do not spray in the direction of others, as the pressure of this
sprayer can blow small objects at great speed.
Toxic exhaust fumes may be colorless and odorless and
contain unburned hydrocarbons and benzol. Never operate the
machine in enclosed or poorly ventilated locations
During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding cover may become extremely
hot. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation. Always keep exhaust area clear of
flammable debris. Allow the engine and muffler to completely cool before per forming any
maintenance activities. After working, wash your hands and clean all of clothing. NOTE:
Residual pesticide can stain what you touch.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure build up in the tank to release slowly and
avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-ventilated areas.
If you spill fuel, wipe the machine immediately –if fuel gets on your clothing, change
immediately.

5
Check for leakage. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal burn injuries, do not
start or run the engine until the leak is fixed.
After fueling, tighten down the screw-type fuel cap as tight as possible.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations causing the fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill fuel.
CONCRETE SPRAYER OPERATION
Fueling
xThis engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline and two-stroke engine oil at a mix
ratio of 50:1.
xThis engine requires a mixture of high-quality gasoline and two- stroke air cooled engine oil.
xUse mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91 and no more than 10%
ethanol content.
xKeep the fuel tank far away from flames or sparks. Do not smoke near fuel.
xWhen adding pre-mixed fuel to the engine, use a funnel to avoid spillage.
xWhen the machine is running, do not add more to the fuel tank.
xOpen the fuel cap carefully to allow and pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly and
avoid fuel spillage.
xAt the end of a season, drain all fuel from gas tank and use fuel stabilizer to insure a clear
carburetor for your next season.
NOTE: Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Keep clear of naked
flames. Do not spill any fuel –do not smoke. Always shut off the engine
before refueling. Do not fuel a hot engine –fuel may spill and cause a fire.

Starting Your Engine
When starting the engine make sure the engine is fueled and the solution tank is prepped for
spraying.
1. Move the choke to the closed position.
2. Prime the engine 4-5 times, or until fuel is visibly passing through the fuel lines.
3. Pull the recoil starter until the engine fires.
4. After the engine starts, slowly move the choke to the open position.
5. Let the engine idle for several minutes and then begin operation.
Stopping Your Engine
1. Move the water valve on the sprayer’s wand to the closed position to stop the flow of
liquid pesticide.
2. Press the kill switch below the engine throttle lever
a. Kill switch is on the operator’s left side when wearing the backpack
Spraying Operation
Using the accelerator (on the operator’s left side) will control the speed of the engine. This will
adjust the distance and spread of the spraying.
NOTE: Operation during weather with little wind is recommended. For example, in the early
morning or in the late afternoon. This can reduce the evaporation and drift of chemicals and
improve spraying efficiency.
1. Operator should face his/her back to the wind.
2. If your mouth or eyes are spattered with chemicals, wash them with clean water and go
to see a doctor immediately.
3. If the operator has a headache or dizziness, stop working at once
4. For the operator’s safety, spraying must be carried out strictly according to the
instruction of the solutions requirements.

SPRAYER CLEANING AND STORAGE
Sprayer Cleaning
Immediately after each use of your Tomahawk Concrete Sprayer it is important to clean it
properly. Fill the solution tank of the sprayer with 2-3 gallons of water. Start the engine and
proceed to spray the water into a waste receptacle. Routine cleaning will help to clean out the
sprayer’s pump, hoses, and spraying attachments –while reducing the chances of the system
clogging.
DO NOT use Xylene or any explosive chemical in the cleaning process. This
concrete sprayer is meant for use with water-based or waterborne compounds
only. Do not spray solvent-based or explosive liquids with this sprayer. Failure
to comply may cause serious bodily harm or death.
Sprayer Storage
For long-term storage of the sprayer, first perform all regular maintenance procedures and
needed repairs. Empty the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the carburetor and
depress the primer bulb until fuel stops discharging from the fuel-return line. Start the engine
and allow it to run until it stops. Pull the starter cord a few times to remove any excess fuel from
the engine. Remove the spark plug and insert a small amount of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull
the starter cord and bring the piston to a position closest to the spark plug hole. Re-install the
spark plug. Apply a thin coating of oil to all the metal surfaces and store the duster in a dry
place.
