    Do not operate the appliance for more than 2 minutes whilst the spray gun is in the closed position as this will over heat the pump. (N.B. All Evopower pressure washers are fitted with thermal relief valves to prevent any instance of overheating, however it is good practice to switch the engine off when not pressure washing.)
