INSTALLATION & PREPARATION

THERMAL RELIEF VALVE:

To ensure the water temperature does not exceed acceptable levels, never al-
low the pressure washer to operate in the bypass mode (with the unit running
and the trigger gun closed) for more than three minutes.
A "thermal relief valve" has been added to this unit to protect the pump. It
may begin to open and release water if the water temperature in the pump
has exceeded 140°F. This will allow fresh, cool water to enter the system.

Before starting the unit, perform the following procedures:
1. Check the oil level in the pump and engine.

"Water Supply", #3, pg. 12.
4. Inspect for system fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, DO NOT START
UNIT! See "Fire & Ventilation Precautions", #2 and #4, pg. 4. Be sure
that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems

5. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or leak
is found, DO NOT USE HOSE! Replace hose before starting unit. See
