 Put the battery holder on top of the new battery, then place
the new battery on the bracket in the same orientation as
the old one.
 Insert the battery holder's tab into the opening on the
battery bracket. Gently press down on the battery holder
while pushing it to the right to lock it into position.
 Install the retaining bolt and return the pressure washer
to its upright position.
 Connect the red wires to the battery's positive (+) terminal,
first the male then the female wire.
 Connect the black wires to the battery's negative (–)
terminal, first the male then the female wire.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when
installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause sparks,
damage to the battery or pressure washer, or even burns
or explosions.
CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 6.
 Screw the collar on the high pressure hose into the trigger
handle inlet coupler by turning the hose collar clockwise.
Tighten securely.
NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the trigger handle to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
THE PUMP
See Figure 7.
 Completely uncoil and straighten the high pressure hose
to prevent kinks.
NOTE: See Using the High Pressure Hose in Operation
for more information about using the high pressure hose.
 Align the collar on the hose to the threaded outlet on the
pump.
 Insert the high pressure hose collar onto the threaded
outlet.
 Turn the collar clockwise to tighten the hose securely to
the pump.
NOTE: Be careful to avoid cross-threading, which can
cause the hose to leak during use.
 Pull on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 8.
NOTICE:
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.
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:
 Completely uncoil the garden hose or remove completely
from reel to prevent kinks.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unrestricted
hose between the pressure washer intake and the hose
faucet or shut off valve (such as a "Y" shut off connector).
 With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the
end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by
hand.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer 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.
