Variation 2 (see Figure B)
1. Selection of high pressure can be achieved by turning the protective collar
clockwise as shown in Drawing 1, Figure B. While in the high pressure
mode, water is directed solely through the 15° spray nozzle creating a
concentrated high pressure "fan" spray.
2. Selection of low pressure detergent application can be achieved by turning
the collar counterclockwise as shown in Drawing 2, Figure B. Once the
pressure is low enough, the detergent injector on the pressure washer will
draw detergent into the system. As the collar is turned, a water/detergent
mixture exits not only from the spray nozzle, but also around the nozzle.
This creates a "fan/cone" combination spray pattern.
NOZZLE CONNECTION:
1. Be certain the trigger gun is locked in the "OFF" position. See WARNING,
left.
2. The nozzle assembly should be disconnected from the gun/wand assembly
at this by retracting the locking ring on the quick-connect fitting to remove
the nozzle (see Figure A) or by unscrewing the nozzle/lance assembly from
the gun/lance assembly (see Figure B).

WATER SUPPLY:
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose measuring
at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50 feet.
2
Check the water inlet strainer to ensure it is clean and free of any obstructions.
Periodic cleaning of the water strainer will help prevent pump problems.
As a strainer becomes obstructed, it restricts proper flow of water to the
pump. This can cause cavitation which will result in premature failure of
pump packings and valves. Using a screw driver, remove the screen; clean
or replace with Mi-T-M #19-0001 if necessary.
3. Connect the hoses.
a. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet of the unit.
b. Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply.
NOTE: Do not use a non-pressurized water supply (i.e. from a well or
pond) with this unit.
c. Connect the high pressure discharge hose to the water outlet of the unit.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (PSI)
and a maximum of 125 PSI. (A typical outdoor faucet will generally
supply this PSI if turned completely "ON".)
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more than the outgoing
GPM stated on the pressure washer nameplate. (You can check GPM
by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon container.
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 140°F (78°C). If unit is
equipped with hot packing kit (2ME1 models only), temperature can not
exceed up to 190°F (87°C). Excessive pump damage may result if the
water temperature exceeds this acceptable level.
5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line attached
and the water supply turned all the way on.
