ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 10 - 11.
The water supply must come from a water main. NEVER use
hot water or water from pools, lakes, etc. For ease of use, a
self-coiling garden hose is provided.
NOTE: When using the self-coiling garden hose, be sure that
the hose does not become crimped during use as this may
cause damage to the pump.
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:
If using a garden hose that is not self-coiling, straighten
the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 3 meters 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.
Wrap the garden hose hanger strap around the garden
hose to keep it close to the handle and out of the way.
