ASSEMBLY CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO TRIGGER HANDLE (See Figure 7.) 1. Align the pressure hose with the trigger handle and push up and into position. 2. With hose pushed into position on the trigger handle, secure in place by turning the hose lock clockwise until fully tightened. NOTE: For easier installation of the hose to the unit or trigger it is suggested to add pressure washer or dish detergent to the rubber seal at each end of the hose. This will allow for easier installation and a snug fit.
ASSEMBLY CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE (See Figure 9.) CAUTION: Always observe all local regulations when connecting 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. ■ Uncoil the garden hose.
OPERATION WARNING Do not allow familiarity with the product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. WARNING Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product.
OPERATION To add detergent: ■■ Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface ■■ Remove cap from detergent tank ■■ Pour detergent into tank ■■ Reinstall cap Detergent Use Black Soap Tip Only Tank Fig. 10-1 Fig. 10-2 CAUTION: Use only approved pressure washer cleaners.

OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER (See Figure 11.) CAUTION: Do not run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on. ■■ Connect the garden hose. ■■ Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the trigger and run water hose with motor in OFF position until a steady stream of water appears. This helps drain air from tank and lines. NOTE: If the pressure washer pulsates and the water stream is intermittent turn the pressure washer off and continue to bleed air out of the system.
OPERATION USING THE SPRAY TIPS (See Figure 12.) Each of the spray tips has a different spray pattern. Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best spray tip for the job.
