How to Use the Hose Reel
Your pressure washer is equipped with a hose reel
that is designed to store your hose when unit is not in
use. These instructions are for short term storage
only. For long term storage see "Storage” on page 16.
After each use:
1. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump.
2. Drain water from hose.
3. Slide one end of hose into hole on hose reel. Turn
hose reel with handle to coil hose onto reel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your pressure washer
with the hose coiled onto the hose reel. The hose reel
is for storage purposes only.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125®F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.
