INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 4.
 Locate the axles, hitch pins, washers and wheels.
 Slide the axle through the hole in the center of the wheel.
 Slide the washer onto the axle.
 Lift the machine and slide the axle into the wheel mount-
ing hole in the machine base as shown.
 Push the hitch pin into the hole on the end of the axle to
secure the wheel assembly.
NOTE: The hitch pin should be pushed into the axle until
the center of the pin rests on top of the axle.
 Repeat with the second wheel.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE HANDLE
See Figure 5.
 To raise the handle: pull the handle up until the handle
release knob snaps through the locking hole to secure
the handle in place.
 To lower the handle: pull the handle release knob out then
lower the handle to the position shown in figure 5.
CONNECTING THE SPRAY WAND TO THE
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 6.
 Place the threaded end of the spray wand in the connec-
tor on the end of the trigger handle.
 Turn the connector until it stops to secure the spray wand
in place.
ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
TO THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 7.
 Screw the collar on the high pressure hose onto the trigger
handle inlet coupler by turning the hose collar clockwise.
Tighten securely.
NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the trigger handle to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 8.
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.
