8 SAFETY FEATURES
8.1 Thermal relief valve
A thermal relief valve is provided to protect the pump from overloading if the spray gun is
closed for an extended length of time or the nozzle becomes plugged. However, it is intended
to be used as a backup system and avoid the overheating of the pump.
Switch the pressure washer "OFF", if it will not be used for longer than five minutes. This
reduces wear, prevents fuel consumption and extends the live of the pump by avoiding heat.
8.2 Safety lock off latch
To prevent accidental discharge of high pressure water, the safety latch on the trigger should
be engaged whenever the pressure washer is not in use (refer to operating instruction).
