CAUTION: Allowing the unit to run for
more than two minutes without the

heating and damage to the pump.
Thermal Relief Valve:
When the temperature
inside the pump rises
too high the valve will
open and release a
gush of water in an
effort to lower the tem-

pump. The valve will then close.

PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATING FEATURES
Pressure Adjustments
The pressure setting is preset at the fac-
tory to achieve optimum pressure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pres-
sure, it can be accomplished by these
methods.
1. Back away from the surface to be
cleaned. The further away you are,
the less the pressure will be on the
surface to be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40º nozzle - (white)
this nozzle delivers a less powerful
stream of water and a wider spray
pattern.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to
increase pump pressure. A higher
pressure setting than the factory set
pressure may damage pump.
Spray Wand Nozzles
The nozzles for the spray wand are
stored in the nozzle holder on the panel
assembly. Colors on the panel identify
nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer
to the following chart to choose the cor-
rect nozzle for the job to be performed.
Changing Nozzles on Spray Wand
DANGER: Risk of fluid injec-
tion. Do not direct discharge stream
toward persons, unprotected skin,
eyes or any pets or animals. Serious
injury will occur.
WARNING: Flying objects could
cause risk of serious injury. Do not
attempt to change nozzles while
pressure washer is running. Turn
engine off before changing nozzles.
