 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
TO THE PUMP
See Figure 9.
 Completely uncoil and straighten the high pressure hose
to prevent kinks.
NOTE: See Using the High Pressure Hose in Operation
for more information about using the high pressure hose.
 Align the collar on the hose to the threaded outlet on the
pump.
 Install the high pressure hose collar onto the threaded
outlet.
 Turn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to

ASSEMBLY
DO NOT OVERTILT THE UNIT!
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 10.
NOTICE:
Always observe all local regulations when connecting
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:
 Completely uncoil the garden hose or remove completely
from reel to prevent kinks.
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.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
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.
