ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE
See Figure 7.
NOTICE:
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.
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 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.
NOTICE:
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.
