The air vents, located in and around the pressure washer,
must be kept clean and free of any obstructions to ensure
proper air cooling of the motor during operation.
WARNING: prevent water from penetrating the
vents of the pressure washer to minimize the risk of
damage to the machine and to reduce the risk of
shock to the operator.
