Connecting the high-pressure hose
For the HW1200 only
Connect the high-pressure hose to the outlet (with the
gun marking). Turn the nut on the high-pressure hose
clockwise while screwing it onto the screw thread of the
outlet.
► Fig.14: 1. Outlet 2. Nut
CAUTION:
Make sure that the high-pressure
hose is securely connected. A loose connection
may blow the high-pressure hose off, resulting in a
personal injury.
Attaching the trigger gun
Connect the high-pressure hose to the inlet on the trig-
ger gun. Turn the nut on the high-pressure hose clock-
wise while screwing it onto the screw thread on the inlet.
► Fig.15: 1. Inlet 2. Nut
CAUTION:
Make sure that the high-pressure
hose is securely connected. A loose connection
may blow the high-pressure hose off, resulting in a
personal injury.
Connecting to a faucet
CAUTION:
Always use a pressure-resistant
water hose with ø13 mm or larger diameter and
connect to the faucet using a proper fittings.
Otherwise, the water hose and/or the fitting may
break and cause personal injury.
NOTICE:
Use a pressure-resistant water hose
as short as possible. The amount of intake water
should be higher than the max feed volume of the
pump.
NOTICE:
If you connect to the mains for drink-
ing water, use a backflow preventer valve which
meets the regulations in your region.
Prepare a pressure-resistant water hose. Attach the
coupling sleeve to one end and connect the other end
to the faucet as follows.
1. Remove the nut on the coupling sleeve and pass
the pressure-resistant water hose through the nut.
Insert the end of the hose into the coupling sleeve and
then tighten the nut.

the coupling sleeve 3. Coupling sleeve
NOTE: If you connect the pressure-resistant water
hose to the faucet using a coupling sleeve, attach it to
the both ends of the hose.
2.
Connect the pressure-resistant water hose to the
faucet. Apply a suitable fitting such as hose band or
water tap joint to secure the hose end with the faucet.

resistant water hose
NOTE: The fitting depends on the shape of the faucet
to which you connect. Prepare a suitable commercial-
ly-bought fitting.
3. Attach the water hose connector to the inlet (with
the faucet marking) and then insert the coupling sleeve.

Connecting/disconnecting the
nozzle
CAUTION:
Always lock the trigger when con-

Insert the end of the nozzle into the slot on the trigger
gun and turn it in the direction of the arrow as shown in
the figure. To disconnect, turn the nozzle in the reverse
direction while pressing it toward the trigger gun.

Some optional nozzles require the connecting joint
(optional accessory) to attach to the trigger gun. Attach
the connecting joint to the trigger gun in the same way
as the nozzle.

Always lock the trigger when con-
necting/disconnecting the nozzle.
Prepare a detergent before using the foam nozzle.
1. Remove the nozzle from the tank by rotating the
