• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine
muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure
washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine
surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
cAutIoN: NEVER pull water supply hose to move pres sure washer.
This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
• DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
• Never turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is
running or damage to pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than
T two minutes at a time. Pump operates in
bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not
pressed. When the temperature inside the
pump rises too high the thermal relief valve (T)
will open and release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature inside the pump.
The thermal relief valve will then close. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the
pump can be damaged.
