ASSEMBLINGPRESSUREWASHER

Your Craftsman pressurewasherwill need assemblybefore

operation:

1. Fill out and send in registration card.

2. Lubricateo-rings.

3. Connect pressure hoseto spray gun and pump.

4. Connectwater supply to pump.

5. Attach plastic wand to spray gun.

6. Attach quick connect spray tip to plastic wand.

LubricateO-Rings

Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease)during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and

provides an improved seal. It alsohelps protect the o-ring
from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.

NOTICEALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assemblingthe high pressure hose (pump
end) (A), high pressure hose(gun end) (B), garden hoseto

the pump (C), and plastic wand (gun end) (D).

Lubricateall connectionsshownbelow, following these

instructions:

1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to lubrication
and assembly.

2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is
all that is required.

3. Usea small brush or cotton swab to apply greasedirectly
to o-rings where they are not accessible (QCfitting, M22
fitting).

ConnectHosesandWater Supply

NOTICE Use ONLYcold water (less than 100°F).

1. Attach garden hose(50 ft. / 15.24 m maximum) to water
