4. SAFETY FEATURES

4.1.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE.
4.1.1. A thermal relief valve is fitted to protect the machine from
overheating if the gun remains closed for an extended period
of time or if the nozzle becomes blocked. To prolong the life of
the washer every effort should be made to avoid overheating.
It is recommended that if the unit is not to be used for two
minutes or more it should be switched off.
4.2.
TRIGGER LOCK.
4.2.1 To prevent accidental starting of the pressure washer the trigger
can be locked as shown in Fig.4B by hinging out the lever built
into the back of the trigger and pressing it until it snaps into an
indent in the handle. To release the locking lever flex the trigger
handle forwards and flip the lever out of the indent and fold it
back into the trigger. The trigger should be locked whenever the
washer is not in use.
4.3.
LOW OIL SHUTDOWN.
4.3.1. The engine on this washer is equipped with a low oil shutdown
feature which stops the engine if the oil drops below the
specified level. Should the engine cut out, first check that it is
standing on a level surface. If the oil level is still low top it up as
described in
Section 7.2.
