ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Pull out the locking slide from
the right side of the trigger
gun handle.
Caution
When connecting the water inlet to the water
supply mains, local regulations of your water
company must be observed. In some areas the
unit must not be connected directly to the
public drinking water supply. This is to ensure
that there is no feedback of chemicals into the
water supply. Direct connection via a receiver
tank or backflow preventer, for example, is
permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit. To
avoid this risk, we recommend fitting a water
filter.
Step 2
Insert the small end of the
high pressure hose into
place.
Step 3
Push the locking slide back
into the trigger gun to lock the
hose in position.
