WARNING
: High pressure spray could cause you to
fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface.
• Keep spray nozzle between 20 to 60 CM (8 to
24 IN) away from cleaning surface.

washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other
relatively unstable location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when
using high pressure spray to avoid injury when

flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place detergent siphoning tube filter in a bucket
full of clean water.
2. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
3. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
position.
4. Flush for 1-2 minutes.
5. Shut off engine.
6. ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction and
squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained
high water pressure.
IMPORTANT
: Simply shutting off the engine will not
release pressure in the pump/hose/spray gun.
After
the engine has stopped, squeeze spray gun
trigger to relieve pressure trapped in the system.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 52°C (125°F). The system
engages to cool the pump by
discharging the
warm water onto the ground.
