CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 10.
The water supply must come from a clean water source
(e.g. public water main or well) with the following
specifications:
• 8 GPM flow rate (minimum)
• 30 PSI (minimum)
NEVER use hot water or standing water from pools,
lakes, etc. Use only a reinforced, high-quality garden
hose with the following requirements:
• 5/8 in. diameter hose (minimum), 3/4 in. diameter
hose (recommended)
BEFORE connecting the garden hose to the
pressure washer:
1. Run water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean
any debris and air from the hose.
2. Inspect the filter in the water intake.
3. If the filter is damaged or dirty, do not use the
machine until the filter has been cleaned or
replaced.
������To connect the garden hose to the machine:
1. Uncoil the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 50 feet of
unrestricted hose between the pressure washer
intake and the hose faucet or shut off valve (such
as a “Y” shut off connector).
2. With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach
the end of the garden hose to the water intake. Hand
tighten.

ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE PUMP
See Figure 11.
1. Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar on the
pump. Fit the inlet coupler on the end of the high
pressure hose into the collar. (Use only steel braided,
reinforced hose rated to a minimum 4,000 PSI.)
2. Release the collar and push until it clicks. Pull on
the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
Make sure the nozzle and hose connections are
secure before starting the machine. A non-secured
accessory could become a projectile if not properly
installed which could result in serious injury.
