IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle
extension to the spray gun and attach all hoses before
you start the engine. Starting engine without all hoses
connected and water supplied will damage the pump.
• Uncoil high pressure hose and attach quick
connect end of hose to the base of the spray gun
(Figure 7). Pull down on the collar of the quick
connect, slide onto the gun and let go of collar. Tug
on hose to be sure of a tight connection.
• Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to
the high pressure outlet on the pump (Figure 8). Pull
down on the collar of the quick connect, slide onto
the pump and let go of collar. Pull on hose to be
sure of a tight connection.
• Before you connect your garden hose to the water
inlet, inspect the inlet screen (Figure 9). Clean the
screen if it contains debris, replace if it’s damaged.
DO NOT RUN THE PRESSURE WASHER IF THE
SCREEN IS DAMAGED.
• Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds
to clean out any debris. Turn off water.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet. Tighten
by hand (Figure 9).
WARNING! There MUST be at least ten feet of
unrestricted garden hose between the pressure
washer inlet and any flow shut off device, such
as a ‘Y’ shut-off connector or other convenience-
type water shut-off valve. Damage to pressure
washer resulting from disregarding this warning
will not be covered by the warranty.
• Turn ON the water and open valve all the way. The
water supply should be minimum 3.2 gallons per
minute.
• Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until you have
a steady stream of water. This purges the pump of
air and impurities.
CAUTION! Before starting the pressure
washer, be sure you are wearing adequate eye
protection.
• Attach the adjustable nozzle extension to the spray
gun. Tighten by hand (Figure 10).
