To ensure the water temperature does not exceed acceptable levels, never
allow the pressure washer to operate in the bypass mode (with the unit
running and the trigger gun closed) for more than three minutes.
A thermal relief valve has been added to this unit to protect the pump. It may
begin to open and release water if the water temperature in the pump has
exceeded 40°F. This will allow fresh, cool water to enter the system.
