High Pressure Hose
• Screw the high pressure hose (clockwise) on the left of the unit at the bottom (Fig. 4). Pull back the collar
and insert o-ring post into the water outlet far enough so the collar can thread onto the outlet threads until
hand tight. Do not use pliers or vice grips to tighten. If it takes fewer than six or so turns you have not prop-
erly tightened the high pressure hose fitting. It is easier to position the power washer in front of you so to
ensure that the threads are started correctly. Failure to properly tighten the high pressure hose will result in
the hose slipping or popping off immediately upon turning the unit on. Do not worry about damage if this
occurs - just reinstall and take extra care at screwing on the high pressure hose fitting.
• Connect the other end of the high pressure hose to the spray gun by inserting the brass metal tip of the
high pressure hose into the fitting just ahead of the trigger guard. It will lock into the spray gun with a
“click” (Fig. 5). Confirm the hose is locked into the spray gun by pulling slightly on the hose. The hose is now
securely attached to the spray gun.
• To release the hose from the spray gun, press the button on the underside of the gun toward the trigger
guard. The hose will slide out from the connection (Fig. 6).
