Unloader
Adjustment Knob
The unloader valve on your machine is equipped with an
adjustment knob to adjust the pressure. If less pressure
is needed, turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise.
To set back to maximum, turn adjustment knob fully
clockwise. Do not over tighten.
Never look directly into the nozzle. High pressure
water creates a risk for severe injury.
Brace yourself. Hold onto gun/wand firmly with both
hands. Gun will kick back from high pressure created
by pump once engine has started.
NOTICE
Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trig-
ger closed) for more than three minutes without trig-
gering gun. This can cause premature failure of pump
packing seals and result in costly pump repair.
NOTICE
Do not allow spray pattern to remain on a fixed area
for an extended period of time. Possible damage to
that area may occur.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten the unloader. Breakage could
result in immediate loss of water pressure and costly
repairs.
