WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this product or create acces-
sories not recommended for use with this product. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could result
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly is com-
plete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting
and possible serious personal injury.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 3.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when connnecting
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 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:

Straighten the garden hose.
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
garden hose to the pump inlet coupler. Tighten by hand.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
THE PUMP
See Figure 4.

Insert the nipple on the end of the high pressure hose
collar into the pump outlet.
ASSEMBLY
 Slide the collar over the outlet turning the collar clockwise
to tighten securely.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
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.
ASSEMBLING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 5.

Insert the end of the spray wand into the trigger handle
outlet coupler.
 Turn the connector clockwise until it stops. This secures
the wand in place.
USING THE SPRAY WAND AS A HANDLE
See Figure 6.
When not in use, the spray wand can be stored in the cleaning
deck. In this position, the wand is then used as a handle to
push/move the pressure washer from place to place.
Attaching the spray wand to the cleaning deck:

Assemble the trigger handle and spray wand as described
previously in this manual.
 Insert spray wand quick connect coupler into the clean-
ing deck inlet plug. Tilt upward until coupler clips into
position.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection or injury, only use the
cleaning deck on flat, horizontal surfaces. Never lift the
cleaning deck from the cleaning surface while operating
the pressure washer.
CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figures 7 - 8.

Insert the nipple on the end of the high pressure hose
collar into the handle inlet coupler.
 Slide the collar over the coupler, turning the collar clock-
wise to tighten securely.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
 Attach the hook-and-loop strap to the trigger handle and
high pressure hose.
NOTE: Use the hook-and-loop strap to secure the electri-
cal cord and garden hose during operation.
