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
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.

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. (Refer to Operating
Instructions.)
LOW-OIL SHUTDOWN
The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the engine
oil level becomes lower than required, the pressure washer
will 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 setting 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 sump is completely full of oil.
The pump will overheat and may be damaged, or cause
damage if allowed to circulate more that five minutes.

SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SPARK
ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be used around
flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, forests, brush,
grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark arrester
should be installed and is legally required in the State of
California. The California statutes requiring a spark arrester are
Sections 13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark Arresters are also
required on some U.S. Forest Service land and may also be
legally required under other statutes and ordinances. For more

SPRAY NOZZLE SELECTION

Following is information concerning the five nozzles
provided with your pressure washer.
NOTE: The force of the spray on the surface you are
cleaning increases as you move closer to the surface.
0° High Pressure (Red): The water stream discharged is
very aggressive. Use with extreme caution to prevent damage
to the surface being cleaned or injury to persons or animals.
15° High Pressure (Yellow): This is the nozzle used for
most cleaning applications. It provides narrow coverage and a
highly powerful water stream.
25° High Pressure (Green): Use of this nozzle offers
both a medium coverage and water stream. Best used for
flushing dirt and debris off surfaces.
40° High Pressure (White): This nozzle is used for
cleaning with the widest coverage over a larger area with a
powerful water stream.
65° Low Pressure (Black): Provides low pressure spray
and a wide coverage. Used primarily when operating the
chemical injector to apply chemicals.
