Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level . Engine power is reduced as the air mass and
air-fuel ratio decrease . Engine power and output will
be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of
elevation above sea level . This is a natural trend and
cannot be changed by adjusting the engine .

Operating Tips

CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water .
CAUTION
Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water
supply .
Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water
source will significantly reduce the life of the pump
and will void the warranty .
CAUTION
Running the unit for more than one minute without
spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump .
In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal
relief valve will open to release the hot water .
Running the unit without spraying water can
damage pump components and will void the
warranty .
