The water supply must come from a water main. NEVER use
hot water or water from pools, lakes, etc.
Before connecting the garden hose to the pressure
washer:
Run water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean any
debris from the hose.
Inspect the 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.
To connect the garden hose to the machine:
Straighten the garden hose.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted
