Check for Shipping Damage
Check
the unit for any
damage that may have occurred
in shipping. Notify the carrier immediately if there is
any

Fill the battery cells with electrolyte and water. Charge
the
battery
. Be sure the battery connections are correct
and
secure.
Connect the fuel line to the engine using the
quick
coupler provided. Squeeze the priming bulb 3 to 5
times.
If you are using a downstream chemical injector
,
install it between the pump unloader and the high
pressure
hose, using the quick couplers provided.
Connect the high pressure hose between the pump
outlet and the gun inlet. Both of these connections are
made
with quick couplers.

CAUTION
Before attaching to the water supply, check your
local
plumbing code regarding cross–

contaminated water into the fresh water supply.
Install
it upstream from the pump.
If inlet water pressure is over 60 psi (4.1 bar) a
regulating water valve, P/N 800–258, must be
installed
at the garden hose connection.
Do not exceed 160_ F (70_ C) inlet water
temperature.
Connect
a hose with at least a 3/4 inch (19 mm) ID from
the water supply to the unit’
s
3/4 inch garden hose inlet.
The supply hose should not be more than 50 ft (15 m)
long.
NOTE: The water source at the unit
must
have a
minimum
flow rate equal to that of the unit (see
Technical
Data, inside back cover).
