SAFETY FEATURES
Thermal Relief Valve
A thermal relief valve is provided to protect the pump from overheating if the spray gun is closed for an
extended amount 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 to turn the pressure washer OFF if it will not be used for more than 5 minutes. This saves
wear on the unit, reduces fuel consumption and extends the life of the pump by avoiding overheating.
Safety Lock 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.
Low-Oil Shutdown
Some engines are equiped with low-oil shutdown systems. If the engine oil level becomes lower than
required, the pressure washer wil automatically shut off. Refer to the engine manual for this feature. 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 on an angle that forces the oil to shift. Place on even surface to correct this. If the
engine fails to start, the oil my not be sufficient to deactivate the low oil level switch. Be sure the pump oil
level is correct.
Pump will overheat and may be damged, or cause damage if allowed to circulate more than 5 minutes
