SAFETY FEATURES
Thermal Relief Valve
A thermal relief valve is provided to protect
the pump from overheating if the spray gun is
closed for an extended amount of time or the
nozzle becomes plugged. However, it is
intended to be used as a backup system and
every effort should be made to not permit the
pump to heat up.
We recommend to turn the pressure washer
OFF if it will not be used for more than 5
minutes. This saves wear on the unit, reduces
fuel consumption and extends the life
of the pump by avoiding overheating.
Safety Lock Latch
To prevent accidental discharge of high
pressure water, the safety latch on the trigger
should be engaged whenever the pressure
washer is not in use.
Low-Oil Shutdown
Some engines are equipped with low-oil
shutdown systems. If the engine oil level
becomes lower than required, the pressure
washer will automatically shut off. Refer to the
engine manual for this feature. This protects
your pressure washer engine from operating
without proper lubrication.
If the pressure washer engine shuts off and
the oil level is according to specification,
check to see if the pressure washer is sitting
on an angle that forces the oil to shift.
Place on even surface to correct this. If the
engine fails to start, there may not be enough
oil to deactivate the low oil level switch.
WARNING
Pump will overheat and may be damaged, or
cause damage if allowed to circulate more than
5 minutes.
Before Operation
NOTE: The engine and pump on your
pressure washer will often have improved
performance after a break-in period of
several hours.
Your Pressure Washer requires some assembly.
This unit ships from our factory without oil.
It must be properly service with fuel and oil
before operation.

assembly of your Pressure Washer or missing

Removing the Pressure Washer

2. Remove everything from the carton except
the pressure washer.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from
top to bottom. Fold each side flat on the
ground to provide a surface area.
