CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE

PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 9.

NOTICE:

Always observe all local regulations when connnecting

hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions

against connecting directly to public drinking water

supply 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 pump 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.

DO NOT OVERTILT THE UNIT!

 Place the filtered end of the detergent injection hose in

the bottle of detergent.

 Place the threaded end of the spray wand in the connector

on the end of the trigger handle. Tighten securely.

NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can

cause the trigger handle to leak during use.

 Turn the connector clockwise until it stops. This secures

the spray wand in place.
