Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or
synthetic grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings
properly and provides an improved seal. It also helps
protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion, pinching or
cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump
(A), high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C), and spray
wand (D).

Lubricate all connections shown below, following
these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film
is all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease
directly to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC
fitting, M22 fitting).
Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump
NOTICE DO NOT run the pump without the water supply
connected and turned on.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
1. Uncoil high pressure hose (E) and attach black end of
hose to base of spray gun (F). Tighten by hand.

WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
• NEVER connect high pressure hose to spray wand.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories
are correctly attached.

3. Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds
to clean out any debris.
NOTICE DO NOT siphon standing water for the water
supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F (38°C)).
4. Before connecting garden hose (J) to water inlet (K),
inspect inlet screen (L). Clean screen if it contains
debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run
pressure washer if inlet screen is damaged.
K
NOTICE Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or
check valve) at pump inlet could cause pump or inlet
connector damage.
• There MUST be at least 10 ft. (3 m) of unrestricted
garden hose between the pressure washer inlet and any
device, such as a vacuum breaker or check valve.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
5. Connect the garden hose (J) (not to exceed 50 ft. (15
m) in length) to the water inlet (K). Tighten by hand.
WARNING Risk of eye injury.
Spray could splash back or propel objects
resulting in serious injury.
• Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash) safety
goggles marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
using or in vicinity of this equipment.
• NEVER substitute safety glasses or dry-condition
goggles for indirect vented safety goggles.
6. Turn ON the water, press red button (M) on the gun
and squeeze the trigger to purge the pump system of
air and impurities.
