Choke control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI. (GPM x PSI = CU)
Fuel valve lever: Opens/closes connection between fuel tank and carburetor.
GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water.
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
Quick-connect spray wand: Allows the user to quickly change out high-pressure nozzles. Refer to Spray Wand Nozzles.
Thermal relief valve: When the temperature inside the pump rises too high the valve will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower
