EXPLANATION
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The pressure relief valve prevents unsafe pressure levels
from building up in the pressure washer. It is not uncommon
to notice occasional drips from the valve.
RECOIL STARTER
The recoil starter is pulled to start the machine.
SPARK ARRESTOR
This engine is not factory equipped with a spark arrestor.
In some areas it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark
arrestor. A spark arrestor is available by calling customer
service for assistance.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
This pump feature will prevent water temperatures from
reaching harmful levels by releasing a small amount of water
from a plastic cap. Once the water has drained, the thermal
relief valve will reset itself.
TRIGGER HANDLE
The trigger handle has a gripping surface that provides added
control of the spray wand and helps reduce fatigue.
TRIGGER WITH LOCK OUT
Pulling the trigger releases a stream of water for high
pressure cleaning. The lock out provides protection against
unauthorized use.
