SUBARU ENGINE
®
This SP170 Subaru engine enables the pressure washer to
achieve 3,000 psi.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
This pump feature will prevent water temperatures from
reaching harmful levels by releasing a small amount of wa-
ter. Once the water has cooled, the thermal relief valve will
reset itself.
TRIGGER HANDLE
The trigger handle has a gripping surface that provides added
control of the spray wand and helps reduce fatigue.
TRIGGER WITH LOCK OUT
Pulling the trigger releases a stream of water for high
pressure cleaning. The lock out provides protection against
unauthorized use.
