Section 5 — operation
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very
hot engine muffler during or immediately
after use of your pressure washer. Damage to
hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces
will NOT be covered by warranty.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Never pull water
supply hose to move pressure washer. This could
damage the hose and/or pump inlet.
• Never turn water supply off while pressure
washer engine is running or damage to the
pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than
two minutes at a time. Pump operates in
bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not
pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for
more than two minutes internal components
of the pump can be damaged.
If you do not understand these precautions, please
contact our customer service department.
