installation & preparation
tHermal relief valve:
To ensure the water temperature does not exceed acceptable levels, never allow
the pressure washer to operate in the bypass mode (with the unit running and
the trigger gun closed) for more than three minutes.
A "thermal relief valve" has been added to this unit to protect the pump. It
may begin to open and release water if the water temperature in the pump has
exceeded 40°F. This will allow fresh, cool water to enter the system.

Before starting the unit, perform the following procedures:
. Check the oil level in the pump and engine.
2. Inspect the water inlet strainer. Clean or replace if necessary. See "Water
