Thermal Protection Valve
Your pressure washer is equipped with a thermal protection valve, located at the base of the pump.
If the engine is left running for an extended time with the gun closed, the pressure washer will vent
water into the atmosphere through this valve. This will protect against accidental situations but is
not designed for repetitive venting.
NOTE:
Always shut the engine OFF and engage
the gun safety-lock when the pressure washer
is not is use.
CAUTION:
Never allow the pressure washer to
run for more than 3 minutes with the gun closed
and the engine running. Prolonged operation in
bypass mode can result in damage to the pump.
