Uncoil the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted
garden hose between the water intake and the garden
hose faucet or shut off valve (such as a “Y” shut off con-
nector).
Run water through the garden hose for 30 seconds to
clean any debris from the hose.
To connect the garden hose to the machine through
G-Clean detergent injector:
Inspect the filter screen in the water intake.
If the screen is damaged, do not use the machine until
the screen has been replaced.
If the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the
garden hose to the machine.
With the garden hose faucet turned completely off, at-
tach the end of the garden hose to the G-Clean detergent
injector. Tighten by hand.
Turn the detergent dial to “WATER” to run only water
through the garden hose.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water supply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE
See Figure 10.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when connecting
hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions
against connecting directly to public drinking water supply to prevent the feedback of chemicals into the drinking
water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank
or backflow preventer is usually permitted.

USING THE DETERGENT INJECTOR
See Figures 12 - 13.
The G-Clean detergent injector allows you to use G-Clean
detergent while using your pressure washer for high and low
pressure cleaning.
NOTE: Use only G-Clean detergent in the injector. Any other
solutions may damage the injector and/or your pressure
washer pump.
Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.
Lay the pressure washer on its back as shown.
To remove the detergent tank, turn the tank counterclock-
wise.
If needed, remove the screen with gasket and clean.
Before first use, remove G-Clean detergent pouch from
plastic bag and place into the tube, then reassemble the
screen with gasket.
Reinstall the detergent tank and turn counterclockwise
to tighten.
NOTE: Make sure the tank is securely tightened. Allow-
ing air into the injector during use may cause damage to
your pressure washer pump.
To rinse with no detergent, turn the dial to WATER.
To clean, turn the detergent dial to G-CLEAN.
NOTE: If a G-Clean detergent pouch is inserted but de-
tergent is not dispensed, check the dial to ensure that it
is set to G-Clean. If the dial is set correctly, ensure that
the detergent pouch has fully dissolved. If detergent is
still not dispensed, remove the detergent tank and screen
and flush the screen with water to clean.
USING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 14.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
NOTE: For greater control and safety, keep both hands on
the unit at all times.
Several different methods of cleaning are available. Choose
the method best suited for your cleaning project.
