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 o-rings in the lance.
Read the manufacturer's
instructions for safe handling
Never store the pressure washer
