AUTOMATIC COOL DOWN SYSTEM (THERMAL
RELIEF)
If you run the engine on your power washer for 3-5 minutes
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach temperatures above 125°F. The system
engages to cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.

ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE SETTING

Your pressure washer pump is equipped with a feature that allows
you to adjust the pressure setting. The pump is preset at the
factory to achieve the highest possible pressure. To decrease the
pressure, turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
desired pressure. Turning the pressure control knob clockwise
until it stops will set the pressure back to the factory setting.

HOW TO STOP YOUR POWER WASHER

1. Release the spray gun trigger.
2. Move the throttle control lever on the engine to the "LOW"
(turtle) position (Figure 28).

IMPORTANT: The spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
the engine is stopped and the water is disconnected.

while the system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point the spray gun in a safe direction, squeeze the spray
gun trigger to release high pressure every time you stop the engine.

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life
of the power washer. See any qualified dealer for service.
The power washer's warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the power washer
as instructed in this manual, including proper storage as detailed in
Winter Storage and Long Term Storage.
Should you have questions about replacing components on your
power washer, please call 1-888-436-3722 for assistance.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain your power washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once each
season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule chart.
Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug, clean
or replace the air filter, and check the spray gun and nozzle
extension assembly for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter
assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better
and last longer.
