ASSEMBLY
FITTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE
TRIGGER GUN
Insert the free end of the high pressure hose into
the corresponding opening on the trigger gun until
you hear it click into place, Fig.9. Check the secure
connection by pulling on the high pressure hose.
Press the release button, Fig.9 (9.1), to remove the
high pressure hose from the trigger gun, and pull
the hose out.
WARNING.
If the high pressure hose
sustains damage, it can burst and cause
injury. A damaged hose must be
replaced, not repaired. Inspect regularly
and prevent the hose coming into
contact with sharp objects or rough
surfaces.
CONNECTING TO A WATER SUPPLY
WARNING.
When connecting a pressure
washer to a normal house water supply
it is important a non-return valve is fitted
to the hose (also called a backflow
preventer) to ensure the pressure
washer cannot contaminate your water
supply if there is a backflow.
Remove the plastic cap from the water supply inlet
connector.
Check the filter inside the water inlet connector is
clear of debris or any other material. Over time
debris may build up and the filter will need to be
checked regularly and any debris build-up
removed. This filter must not be removed except
for examination and cleaning.
Fit the quick connector to the water supply inlet
connector and tighten by hand only, Fig.10
Connect a hose from the water supply to the fitted
quick connector.
NOTE
The specification lists suitable water inlet
pressures. Do not exceed the maximum water
pressure stated in the specification.
If you do not know or are unable to measure the
water pressure, keep the pressure low to prevent
damage to the pressure washer. Aim to set the
pressure at mid-point between the lowest and
highest water pressure accepted by the pressure
washer. If preferred, a third party water pressure
gauge is available that connects directly to the tap.
This will allow the water pressure to be set more
accurately.
Do not connect to a hot water supply. This will
prevent the pump from cooling and may damage
the seals over time
It is important that a good water connection is
maintained while operating a pressure washer, as
the pump will be damaged if run without water.
Make sure the connections are secure before
switching on the pressure washer.
