V.) Turn Water Supply ON
Make sure the hose is not "kinked". A kinked hose will
provide insufficient water supply to the pump and will
reduce its life. Make sure the hose remains unkinked
after moving the pressure washer.
VI.) Squeeze Trigger
Squeeze the trigger until a steady flow of water sprays
out the nozzle. Make sure all the air is out of the hoses
before running the pressure washer. This step is very
important, it will prolong the pump's life. NEVER run the
pump dry.
VII.) Attach Nozzle
