The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and

engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.

while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
7. ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger to release retained high water pressure.

Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures above
125°F (51°C). The system engages to cool the pump by
discharging the warm water onto the ground.
