B. Hose Connections
1.
Connect high pressure hose to detergent
injector outlet.
2.
If optional low pressure downstream, in
-
line
chemical injector is to be used, connect the
injector tube to the detergent inlet and place
the other end of the tube, with the strainer
attached, in the chemical container (not
supplied).
3.
Connect gun/lance assembly to high pressure
hose.
4.
Check inlet water filter is clean then connect
water supply hose to machine. Use a 25mm
(minimum) hose .
Incoming water supply must deliver double the
flow of the machine. If questionable, check
supply at machine. If supply is insufficient, do
not operate from this outlet. For residential use,
the outlet closest to the meter will usually
deliver the highest flow rate. Connect only to
clean town water supply.
Warning:
Do not operate from tank or pond.
Doing so will cavitate the pump causing
damage. Cavitation or pump starvation is not
covered
by
warranty.
Cavitation
is
a
phenomenon causing vacuum pockets to form
within the pump that eventually implode under
pressure pitting the internal pump surfaces.
