• Note: Do not leave the electric pressure washer in operation unsupervised. The pump will run in bypass mode each time the trigger is released. If a pump has been running in bypass mode for a long time, it will cause the temperature of the circulating water in the pump to be too high thus shortening the life of the pump or even damaging it. Therefore, avoid running the equipment in bypass mode for a long time.
