sure washer is equipped with a manual trigger lock
to prevent accidental operation of the trigger gun,
refer to figure above. The trigger lock should be used
whenever the trigger gun is not in use.
IMPORTANT: On initial start-up or if maintenance
has been performed on the burner assembly, it will
be necessary to bleed the air from the gas line before
the pilot will light.
7. If you are running the machine for the first time, or
have performed maintenance on the burner assembly,
there will be air in the gas line. To bleed the air from
the gas line run the pressure washer with pump and
burner switches on and thermostat on highest setting.
