clean covered containers. Use clean fill funnels. Never
use “stale” gasoline left over from last season or gasoline
stored for long periods.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to
Pump
IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle extension
to the spray gun and attach all hoses before you start the
engine. Starting engine without all hoses connected and
water supplied will damage the pump.
Uncoil high pressure hose and attach quick connect end
of hose to the base of the spray gun (Figure 3). Pull
down on the collar of the quick connect, slide onto the
gun and let go of collar. Tug on hose to be sure of a tight
connection.
Similarly, attach the other end of the high pressure hose
to the high pressure outlet on the pump. Pull down on
the collar of the quick connect, slide onto the pump and
let go of collar. Pull on hose to be sure of a tight
connection.
Before you connect your garden hose to the water inlet,
inspect the inlet screen (Figure 4). Clean the screen if it
contains debris, replace it if it is damaged. DO NOT
RUN THE PRESSURE WASHER IF THE SCREEN IS
DAMAGED.
Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to
clean out any debris. Turn off water.
Inspect inlet screen. Do Not
use if damaged, clean if dirty.
