
Make sure the connection hose do not kink.

Never allow tank to run dry.
To connect an external feed tank, follow the steps below:
1. Customer will supply the following:
a. 200 gallon tank or larger water feed tank
b. ¾” connection hose no longer than 6 ft.
c. ¾” fittings. Do not use 90° elbow fittings.
2. Make sure that the bottom of the water feed tank
is level or higher than the pump inlet.
3. Connect one end of the ¾” hose to the water
tank.
4. Connect the other end of the ¾” hose to the
pump. Make sure the connection hose will not
kink.
5. Reroute 1/4” easy start hose if equipped so it
discharges back to the feed tank. This will aid in
pump priming upon initial start-up. Remove ¼”
hose barb from inlet and replace with 1/4” NPT
plug (to be supplied by customer).
6. Fill the tank to desired level.
Attach High Pressure Hose to Water Outlet
WARNING: High Pressure
NEVER operate this pump with components (such as
hose, connections, and spray gun) rated for lower
pressure and/or temperature limits than the machine's
maximum rated pressure and temperature, or
component could rupture and cause serious personal
injury from escaping high pressure fluids.
1. See "Component Identification" section of this
manual for location of the pressure washer's water
outlet.
2. Your pressure washer hose is equipped with quick
couplers. Simply pull the collar back and push the
coupler onto the water outlet nipple. The collar
should slide over the ball bearings.
3. Release the collar, making sure it springs back and
re-seats to its original (non-retracted) position.
Check
the connection by pulling on the hose to ensure a
positive connection.
Select nozzle for spray gun
Your pressure washer is equipped with four high-
pressure nozzles and one low-pressure nozzle.
Generally, the wider the spray angle of the nozzle, the
lower the spray impact produced. Select the appropriate
nozzle for the job based on the following table:
Color of Nozzle: Spray
Angle
Used For:
Red 0 Highest Impact
Yellow 15 Tough Stains/Stripping
Green 25 General
White 40 Light Cleaning
Black-Low pressure 65 Chemicals
NOTE: You must use the low pressure black nozzle for
spraying chemicals.
Spray Gun Safety Lock
When not spraying, use the spray gun safety lock to
prevent accidental high pressure discharge.
CAUTION: Adding Chemicals to Feed Tank
Certain chemicals, such as bleach or those
containing muriatic acid, will cause pump damage
if introduced upstream through the pump's water
inlet and will void warranty.
