Special Equipment Safety Features
This unit is equipped with the following safety features:
High Pressure Relief Valve
Acts as a backup safety feature. If the Pressure Control
Valve (Unloader) malfunctions, this separate high-
pressure relief valve will open and relieve excess
system pressure. Repair is required.
WARNING: Relief valve failure
If the high-pressure relief valve ever discharges water,
turn the unit off and do not use the machine. Call
Product Support at 1-800-270-0810.
Temperature Control Switch
Measures water temperature and automatically turns
burner off when temperature setting is reached. When
water temperature drops, burner automatically reignites.
Figure 1
Pump Thermal Relief Valve
This valve, on the Unloader bypass port, protects the
pump from overheating. The pump continues to work in
bypass mode when you are not spraying. If high
temperatures are developed during bypass mode, the
Thermal Relief Valve will open and discharge hot water
onto the ground, protecting the pump from overheating.
Note: One of two pumps will be on your machine.

Spray Gun Safety Latch
Has a built-in trigger safety latch to guard against
accidental trigger actuation.
