ASSEMBLY

CONNECTING THE GARdEN HOSE

(See Figure 7.)
C A U T I O N :
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 back flow
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:
■ Uncoil the garden hose.
■ Run the water hose until a steady stream of water appears to clean any debris from the hose.
■ Inspect the screen in the water intake for any damage or build up of debris.
■ 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.
■ With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the end of the garden hose to the water intake.
Tighten by hand.
