ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 7.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when connnecting
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.
