ASSEMBLY
Your electric pressure washer requires some assembly but is
quickly ready for use.
If you have any problems with the assembly of your pressure
washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-866-902-
9690.
UNPACK THE PRESSURE WASHER
1. Remove everything from carton.
2. Ensure you have all included items prior to assembly.
CARTON CONTENTS
Check all contents. If any parts are missing or damaged, call the
pressure washer helpline at 1-866-902-9690.
• Main unit
• Spray gun
• High pressure hose
• Plastic wand
• Quick connect tips (3)
• Parts bag (which includes the following):
• O-ring Kit
• Operator’s manual
Become familiar with each piece before assembling the pressure
washer. Identify all contents with the illustration on page 5. If any
parts are missing or damaged, call the pressure washer helpline
at 1-866-902-9690.
ASSEMBLING PRESSURE WASHER
Your Craftsman pressure washer will need assembly before
operation:
1. Lubricate o-rings.
2. Connect pressure hose to spray gun and pump.
3. Connect water supply to pump.
4. Attach plastic wand to spray gun.
5. Attach quick connect spray tip to plastic wand.
Lubricate O-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 also helps protect the o-ring from damage by
abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o-rings
prior to assembling the high pressure hose (pump end) and high
pressure hose (gun end) (A), plastic wand (gun end) (B), and
garden hose to the pump (C)
Lubricate all connections shown below, following these
instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to lubrication
and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is all
that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease directly
to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC fitting, M22
fitting).

Checklist Before Starting Pump Motor
Review the unit’s assembly to ensure you have performed all of
the following.
1. Be sure to read Operator Safety and Operation before using
the electric pressure washer.
2. Check for properly tightened hose connections.

into an electrical circuit rated for 120 Volts AC at 15 Amps
that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Servicing Of A Double-Insulated Appliance
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double- insulated
product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double- insulated product is marked with
the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”
The symbol means DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
This pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuit- interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power supply cord. This
device provides additional protection from the risk of electric
shock. Should replacement of the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI
protection. Do not operate pressure washer if GFCI is not working.
