INSTALLING THE STORAGE PANEL AND
TRIGGER HANDLE HOLDER
See Figures 4 - 5.
 Align the holes in the storage panel with the holes in the
handle, as shown.
 Insert a screw through the left hole (when viewed from
front). Install a nut and tighten securely using a Phillips
screwdriver and 10 mm wrench (not provided).
 Align the trigger handle holder with the holes in the handle
and panel on the opposite side, as shown.
 Insert the other screw through the hole, then install the
nut and tighten securely.
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.
CONNECTING THE HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE
TO THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 7.
 Screw the collar on the non-sleeved end of the high-
pressure hose into 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 HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE
TO THE PUMP
See Figure 8.
 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 sleeved end of 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
the pump.
NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the hose to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 9.
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 3 m (10 ft) of unre-
stricted 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.
