SAFETY FEATURES
A. THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
A thermal relief valve is provided to protect the pump from overheating if the
spray gun is closed for an extended length 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 turning the pressure washer off if it will not be used for more than
five minutes. This saves wear on the unit, reduces fuel consumption and extends
the life of the pump by avoiding heat.
B. SAFETY LOCK OFF 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.
C. LOW-OIL SHUTDOWN
Some engines are equipped with low-oil shutdown.If the engine oil level
becomes lower than required, the pressure washer will automatically shut off.
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 at an angle that forces
oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this. If the engine fails to start,the
oil level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch. Be sure the pump
is completely full of oil.
CAUTION: The pump will overheat and may damaged, or
cause damage if allowed to circulate more than five minutes.
