GENERAL TECHNOLOGY • PSI: Pounds per square inch - Common unit measure used for water pressure, air pressure, hydraulic pressure and pounds of force. • LPM: Litres per minute - common unit measure used for flow rate of water. • Bypass Mode: In bypass mode, the high pressure pump recirculates water because the spray gun trigger has not been pressed.
8. High Pressure Turning Valve: This is a valve that can discharge the air in the pump and water in-take pipeline, enhance pump sucking ability, and allow to suck from a barrel of 1m deep. 9. Easy Start Valve: Releases the head build up pressure which will build when pull starting the engine, and help it easier to start.
