ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE PUMP
See Figure 8.
After the high pressure hose has been uncoiled and attached to the trigger handle:
nAlign the collar on the threaded outlet on the pump.
nInsert the hose on the end of the high pressure hose collar into the threaded outlet.
nTurn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to the pump.
nPull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 9.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when connecting 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:
nUncoil the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unre- stricted 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.
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.
