Thermal Protection Valve
Your pressure washer is equipped with a thermal protection valve, located on the pump. If the engine
is left running for an extended time with the gun closed, the pressure washer will dump water into the
atmosphere through this valve.
NOTE: When beginning to spray, press the
gun trigger gently. Do NOT pump the trigger
rapidly between the ON and OFF setting.
CAUTION: Never allow the pressure washer to run for more than 3 minutes with the gun closed
and the engine running. Prolonged operation in bypass mode can result in damage to the pump.
NOTE: Always shut the engine OFF and engage
gun safety-lock when the pressure washer is not
in use. Refer to Shutdown Instructions on page 9.
