ASSEMBLY
 Push the hitch pin into the hole on the end of the axle to
secure the wheel assembly.
NOTE: The hitch pin should be pushed into the axle until
the center of the pin rests on top of the axle.
 Repeat with the second wheel.
ATTACHING THE TRIGGER HANDLE REST
See Figure 5.
 Locate the trigger handle rest (front and back), long screw
(1/4-20 x 1.85 in.), short screw (#8 x 3/4 in.), washer
(1/4 in.), and lock nut.
 Place trigger handle rest on handle, aligning holes as
shown.
 Insert long screw through holes in trigger handle rest and
frame. Install washer and lock nut; tighten securely.
 Insert short screw through hole in rear of trigger handle
rest and tighten securely.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE HANDLE
See Figure 6.
 To raise the handle: pull the handle up until the handle
knob snaps through the locking hole to secure the handle
in place.
 To lower the handle: pull the handle knob out then lower
the handle to the position shown in figure 6.
ASSEMBLING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 7.
 Place the threaded end of the spray wand in the connec-
tor on the end of the trigger handle.
 Turn the connector clockwise until it stops. This secures
the wand in place.
 When not in use, remove the spray wand from the trigger
handle by turning the connector counterclockwise. Store
the unassembled spray wand in the spray wand storage
area.
ATTACHING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
See Figure 7.
 Place the threaded stud on the end of the auxiliary handle
into the hole in the trigger handle as shown. Turn clock-
wise to tighten.
NOTE: You can install the handle on either the left or right
side of the spray wand, depending on operator prefer-
ence. The handle must always be used to prevent loss
of control and possible serious injury.
 To switch sides, loosen the auxiliary handle and rotate to
the opposite side. Tighten securely before use.
CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 8.
 Pull back and hold the collar on the high pressure hose.
Insert the inlet coupler on the trigger handle into the collar.
 Release the collar and push until it locks into place. Pull
on the hose to be certain it is properly secured.
ATTACHING INJECTION HOSE
See Figure 9.
Before detergent can be used with this machine, the injection
hose must be attached.
 Push the open end of the clear injection hose securely
over the fitting as shown in figure 9.
 Place the filtered end of the injection hose in the bottle
of detergent.
CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE
PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 10.
CAUTION:
Always observe all local regulations when
connnecting hoses to the water main. Some areas
have restrictions against connecting directly to
public drinking water supply to prevent the feed-
back 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 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:
 Uncoil the garden hose.
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.
