ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this product or create acces- sories not recommended for use with this product. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 3.
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 garden hose to the pump inlet coupler. Tighten by hand.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE PUMP
See Figure 4.
nInsert the nipple on the end of the high pressure hose collar into the pump outlet.
nSlide the collar over the outlet turning the collar clockwise to tighten securely.
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.
ASSEMBLING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 5.
nInsert the end of the spray wand into the trigger handle outlet coupler.
nTurn the connector clockwise until it stops. This secures the wand in place.
USING THE SPRAY WAND AS A HANDLE
See Figure 6.
When not in use, the spray wand can be stored in the cleaning deck. In this position, the wand is then used as a handle to push/move the pressure washer from place to place.
Attaching the spray wand to the cleaning deck:
nAssemble the trigger handle and spray wand as described previously in this manual.
nInsert spray wand quick connect coupler into the clean- ing deck inlet plug. Tilt upward until coupler clips into position.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection or injury, only use the cleaning deck on flat, horizontal surfaces. Never lift the cleaning deck from the cleaning surface while operating the pressure washer.
