TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
•NEVER operate the unit without water.
•Your pressure washer is not meant to pump hot water. NEVER connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply as it will significantly reduce the life of the pump.
•Running the unit for more than two minutes without spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump. Running the unit without spraying water can damage pump components.
•Release the trigger prior to switching the lance between high and low pressure. Failure to do so may reduce the life of the
