Rinsing Pressure:
Pressure Washer Rinsing
•
Remove black spray tip from lance.
•
Select & install desired high pressure spray tip following
instructions in High Pressure Operation section of this manual.
•
Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.
•
Increase or decreases spray pressure by turning the Pressure
Adjustment Knob, clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to
decrease. Use lower pressure to wash items such as a car or
boat. Use higher pressure to strip paint and degrease
driveways.
•
Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then check
surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue rinsing.
•
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as used for cleaning.
Thermal Relief Valve:
During normal operation, the cold water from your water supply
passes through the inside of the pressure pump allowing the
pump to maintain a normal operating temperature. When you
let go of the trigger, the pump enters by-pass mode and
re-circulates water within the pump.
If the unit is left in the by-pass mode for more than two (2)
minutes, the water temperature may rise to a dangerous level
causing cavitation and possible damage to internal components
of the pump. As a safe guard against damage from
overheating, pumps are equipped with a thermal relief valve.
This safety valve will open when the internal water temperature
becomes too high, once cool the valve will close again
automatically.
Do not attempt to run hot water into the pump or allow your unit to operate in the by-pass mode for long
periods of time (2 minutes max), as overheating of the pump will cause component damage.
