Air Filter - Protects engine by filtering dust and debris out of intake air.
Thermal Relief Valve - Cycles cool water through pump when water reaches 140°F. Warm water
will discharge from pump onto ground. This system prevents internal pump damage.
Automatic Pressure Relief Valve (APR) - Eliminates pressure in the pump while starting the
engine making the unit to start easier
Chemical Injection Siphon/Filter - Use to siphon detergent or other pressure washer chemicals
into the low pressure stream.
Choke Lever - Prepares a cold engine for starting.
Data Plate - Provides model, revision and serial number of pressure washer. Please have these
readily available if calling for assistance.
Fuel Tank - Fill tank with regular unleaded fuel. Always leave room for fuel expansion.

trigger is released. This allows the engine to continue to run when not spraying water.
Wheels – Enable pressure washer to be transported around work area and provide vibration
absorption to minimize wear on mechanical components
