ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly is
complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental
starting and possible serious personal injury.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE HANDLE
See Figure 4.
 To raise the handle: pull the handle up until the handle
knob snaps through the locking hole to secure the handle
in place.
 To lower the handle: pull the handle knob out then lower
the handle.
ASSEMBLING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 5.
 Push the end of the spray wand into the trigger handle
and rotate clockwise to secure.
 Turn the spray wand clockwise until it stops. This secures
the spray wand in place.
CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 6.
 Screw the collar on the high pressure hose into the
trigger handle inlet coupler by turning the hose collar
clockwise. Tighten securely.
 NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the trigger handle to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
THE PUMP
See Figure 7.
 Completely uncoil and straighten the high pressure hose
to prevent kinks.
NOTE: See Using the High Pressure Hose in Operation
for more information about using the high pressure hose.
 Align the collar on the hose to the threaded outlet on the
pump.
 Insert the high pressure hose collar onto the threaded
outlet.
 Turn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to
the pump.
NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the hose to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 8.
NOTICE:
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 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:
 Completely uncoil the garden hose or remove completely
from reel to prevent kinks.
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
end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by
hand.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
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.
