ATTACHING THE HOSE REEL HANDLE
See Figure 7.
 Fit the hose reel handle over the socket on the end of the
reel.
 Thread the (M4 x 12) screw through the handle into the
socket and securely tighten.
 The end of the handle may be folded in and out of the
way when moving and storing the pressure washer.
ASSEMBLING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 8.
 Push the two ends of the spray wand together so that
the holes inside each end are aligned.
 Lower the locking collar and rotate counterclockwise until
you hear the clicking sound, which indicates the wand is
securely tightened.
 Place the assembled spray wand in the spray wand stor-
age bracket.
ATTACHING THE HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW
PRESSURE HOSES TO THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 9.

The low pressure hose is the clear tube with the plastic
fitting and goes on the spout at the bottom of the trigger
handle.

Grasp the plastic fitting and slide onto the spout until
it clicks into place.
 To remove, depress the latch on top of the fitting and
remove the hose from the spout.
 The high pressure hose has a metal connection and slides
into the opening at the top of the trigger handle.
 Grasp the hose lock and pull outward to clear the way
for the high pressure hose to be inserted.
 Insert the high pressure hose all the way into the hole.
 Push the hose lock fully back into the handle to hold
the high pressure hose in place.

CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE
See Figure 10.
CAUTION:
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:

Uncoil the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted
garden hose between the water intake and the garden
hose faucet or shut off valve (such as a “Y” shut off con-
nector).
 Run water through the garden hose for 30 seconds to
clean any debris from the hose.
To connect the garden hose to the machine through
G-Clean detergent injector:

Inspect the filter 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.
 With the garden hose faucet turned completely off, at-
tach the end of the garden hose to the G-Clean detergent
injector. Tighten by hand.
 Turn the detergent dial to “WATER” to run only water
through the garden hose. 
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply 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.
