ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING INJECTION HOSE
See Figure 4.
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 as shown.
NOTE: Keep injection hose away from hot surfaces.
Place the filtered end of the injection hose in the bottle
of detergent.
ASSEMBLING THE SPRAY WAND TO THE
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 5.
To attach the spray wand:
Place the threaded end of the spray wand in the connec-
tor on the end of the trigger handle.
Turn the connector clockwise until it stops. This secures
the spray wand in place.
When not in use, remove the spray wand from the trigger
handle by turning the connector counterclockwise. When
not in use, store each piece in the storage area on the
sides of the pressure washer frame.
CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
TRIGGER HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Screw the collar on the high pressure hose into the trigger
handle’s inlet coupler by turning the hose collar clockwise.
Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
THE PUMP
See Figure 7.
After the high pressure hose has been uncoiled and attached
to the spray wand:
Align the collar on the threaded nipple on the pump.
Insert the nozzle on the end of the high pressure hose
collar into the threaded nipple.
Turn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to
the pump.
Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
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.
