• NEvER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is
running or damage to pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than
two minutes at a time. Pump operates in
bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not
pressed. When the temperature inside the
pump rises too high the thermal relief valve (T)
will open and release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature inside the pump.
The thermal relief valve will then close. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the
pump can be damaged.
