ATTACHING INJECTION HOSE
See Figure 9.
Before detergent can be used with this machine, the injection
hose must be attached.
Open the cap of your detergent container.
Push the injection hose filter onto the end of the injec-
tion hose. Insert the injection hose into your detergent
container so the injection hose filter rests at the bottom
of the detergent container.
Push the open end of the injection hose securely over the
fitting as shown in figure 9.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 10 - 11.
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. For ease of use,
a self-coiling garden hose is provided.
NOTE: When using the self-coiling garden hose, be sure
that the hose does not become crimped during use as this
may cause damage to the pump.
Before connecting the garden hose to the pressure washer:
Run water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean any
debris from the hose.
Inspect the screen in the water intake.
If the screen is damaged, do not use the machine until
the screen has been replaced.
If the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the garden
hose to the machine.
To connect the garden hose to the machine:
If using a garden hose that is not self-coiling, straighten
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 connec-
tor).
With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the
end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by
hand.
Wrap the garden hose hanger strap around the garden
hose to keep it close to the handle and out of the way.
INSTALLING SURFACE CLEANER
See Figures 12 - 14.
To install the surface cleaner on the pressure washer:
Connect the lower end of the high pressure water supply
hose to the surface cleaner by inserting the deck inlet plug
into the quick connect coupler on the water supply hose.
Push ends together until coupler snaps into position.
Slide surface cleaner and pressure washer housing
together until the connection is secure.
Insert upper end of high pressure water supply hose into
trigger handle outlet coupler and push ends together until
coupler snaps into position.
To install the surface cleaner on the spray wand:
Assemble the trigger handle and spray wand as described
previously in this manual.
Insert surface cleaner inlet plug into the spray wand quick
connect coupler and push ends together until coupler
snaps into position.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection injury, only use the surface
cleaner on flat, horizontal surfaces. Never lift the surface
cleaner from the cleaning surface while operating the
pressure washer.
