• Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area
you plan to spray.
• Apply a high pressure spray to an small area and
then check the surface for damage. If no damage
is found, you can assume it is okay to continue
cleaning.
• Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working
down with same overlapping strokes used for
cleaning.
• The use of a brush may be helpful on some hard to
clean surfaces.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach a
temperature between 140–145°F. When the water
reaches this temperature, the automatic cool down
system engages and cools the pump by discharging
the warm water onto the ground. This system prevents
internal damage to the pump. Once the pump has
cooled, it will stop discharging.
NOTE: This is not a leak. Do Not return the pressure
washer to the store.
