4.Drain the water from the washer (Fig. 23)

(1) Tilt the washer to drain out the residual water.

(2) Wipe away all moisture with a dry cloth.

CAUTION

Water left in the washer may freeze in the winter, which could result in damage to the pump.

SAFETY MECHANISMS

The washer is equipped with the following safety mechanisms to ensure safe usage.

Power switch

This prevents the washer from being unintentionally operated.

Trigger gun equipped with a lock

This prevents the trigger from being pulled, unintentionally operating the washer.
