Connect Hose and Water Supply to
Pump
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you start
the engine. Starting engine without all hoses connected and
water supplied will damage the pump.
NOTE: Your pressure washer comes with a quick connect
that you can use to attach the high pressure hose to either
the pump or spray gun.
• Uncoil the high pressure hose and attach the female quick
connect to one end of the hose. Attach the male quick
connect to the high pressure fitting on the pump (Figure 8).

• Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to the
high pressure outlet on the pump (Figure 9). Pull down
on the collar of the quick connect, slide onto the pump
and let go of collar. Pull on hose to be sure of a tight
connection.
