NOTICE:
Always observe all local regulations when con-
necting 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.
