The spray wand has a gripping surface that provides added 
cont

rol of the spray wand and helps reduce fatigue.

STORAGE STRAP

The storage strap is attached to the back of the pressure 
washer providing a hook and loop system for securing the 
high pressure and injection hoses for storage.

THERMAL RELIEF VALVE

This  pump  feature  will  prevent  water  temperatures  from  
reaching harmful levels by releasing a small amount of water 
from a rubber hose. Once the water has drained, the thermal 
relief valve will reset itself.

Pulling  the  trigger  releases  a  stream  of  water  for  high  
pressure cleaning. The lock out provides protection against 
unauthorized use.
