High Pressure Hose - Echo PWE-1800 Manuel De L'opérateur

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

• Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the left of the unit at the bottom
(Fig. 4). Pull back the collar and insert o-ring post into the water outlet far
enough so the collar can thread onto the outlet threads until hand tight. Do not
use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer than six or so turns you have
not properly tightened the high pressure hose fitting. It is easier to position the
power washer in front of you so to ensure that the threads are started correctly.
Failure to properly tighten the high pressure hose will result in the hose slipping
or popping off immediately upon turning the unit on. Do not worry about damage
if this occurs - just reinstall and take extra care at screwing on the high pressure
hose fitting.
• Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the spray gun by inserting
the brass metal tip of the high pressure hose into the fitting just ahead of the
trigger guard. It will lock into the spray gun with a "click" (Fig. 5). Confirm the
hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling slightly on the hose. The hose is now
securely attached to the spray gun.
• To release the hose from the spray gun, press the button on the underside of the
gun toward the trigger guard. The hose will slide out from the connection (Fig. 6).
