ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE PUMP
See Figure 8.
nAlign the collar on the threaded nipple on the pump.
nTurn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to the pump.
nPull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup- ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the pressure washer.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 9.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when connnecting hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions against connecting directly to public drinking water sup- ply to prevent the feedback of chemicals into the drinking water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank or backflow preventer is usually permitted.
The water supply must come from a water main. NEVER use hot water or water from pools, lakes, etc.
Before connecting the garden hose to the pressure washer:
nRun water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean any debris from the hose.
nInspect the screen in the water intake.
nIf the screen is damaged, do not use the machine until the screen has been replaced.
nIf the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the garden hose to the machine.
To connect the garden hose to the machine:
nStraighten the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted hose between the pressure washer intake and the hose faucet or shut off valve (such as a “Y” shut off connector).
nWith the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by hand.
nWrap the garden hose hanger strap around the garden hose to keep it close to the handle and out of the way.
INSTALLING SURFACE CLEANER
See Figures 10 - 11.
To install the surface cleaner on the pressure washer:
nConnect the lower end of the high pressure water supply hose to the surface cleaner by inserting the deck inlet plug into the quick connect coupler on the water supply hose. Push ends together until coupler snaps into position.
nSlide surface cleaner and pressure washer housing together until the connection is secure.
nRemove trigger handle from the holders. Feed high pres- sure water hose through bottom trigger handle holder.
nAttach upper end of high pressure water supply hose into trigger handle outlet couple.
nSecure hose with hook and loop strap.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection injury, only use the surface cleaner on flat, horizontal surfaces. Never lift the surface cleaner from the cleaning surface while operating the pressure washer.
