CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
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 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.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury, always disconnect the engine spark plug
wire from the spark plug when assembling parts.
INSTALLING THE HANDLE

CAUTION:
Be careful to avoid pinching your fingers or hands when
installing the handle onto the frame.
Push and hold the push-pin button on the side of the handle
as you slide the handle onto the frame.
NOTE:
Before use, pull the handle up until the push-pin button
snaps through the locking slots to secure the handle in place.

tor on the end of the trigger handle.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals or charge in a sealed
container. Keep sparks and flame away. Do not use
metal tools for connections and keep metal objects away
from the battery terminals. Metal objects can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together can cause sparks, burns, or
a fire.
The starter cable on the pressure washer must be connected
to the connection port on the battery and the battery must be
fully charged before the electric start feature of the pressure
washer can be operated.
To connect the battery:

Remove the cap from the connection port on the battery.

Connect the starter cable on the pressure washer to the
connection port on the battery, making sure the plug is
fully seated.
