ASSEMBLY
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.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 8.
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:
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:
Uncoil 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).
With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the
end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by
hand.
ATTACHING INJECTION HOSE
See Figures 9 - 10.
Before detergent can be used with this machine, the injection
hose must be attached.
Push the open end of the clear injection hose securely
over the fitting on the back of the unit.
NOTE: Keep injection hose away from hot surfaces.
Open the cap on the detergent tank.
From the top of the cap, slide the injection hose through
the hole in the cap.
Push the injection hose filter onto the end of the injec-
tion hose and pull enough hose through the cap so the
injection hose filter will rest at the bottom of the detergent
tank.
Close the cap on the detergent tank.
