CHECK WATER INLET STRAINER
12
INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
WATER SUPPLY:
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose measuring
at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50 feet.
2. Check the water inlet filter to ensure it is clean and free of any obstructions.
Periodic cleaning of the water filter will help prevent pump problems. As
a filter becomes obstructed, it restricts proper flow of water to the pump.
This can result in cavitations which will cause premature failure of pump
packings. Using a screwdriver, remove the strainer from the unit. Clean,
or replace with Mi-T-M #19-0001 if necessary.
3. Connect the hoses:
a. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet of the
unit.
b. Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply.
Do not use a non-pressurized water supply (i.e. from a pond or well)
with this unit.
c. Connect the high pressure discharge hose to the water outlet of the
unit.
d. High Pressure Discharge Hose to Gun. (If Applicable)
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (PSI)
and a maximum of 125 PSI. (A typical outdoor faucet will generally
supply this PSI if turned completely "ON".)
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more than the outgoing
GPM stated on the pressure washer nameplate. (You can check GPM
by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon container.)
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 125°F. Excessive pump
damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this acceptable
level.
5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line attached and
the water supply completely turned on.
INSTALLING HANDLE:
TOOLS NEEDED; ½" SOCKET, RATCHET
1. Slide handle over the tubes on frame. Hold in place while inserting carriage
bolts from the inside of the frame thru the tubes and thru the handle.
2. While still holding handle to prevent it from falling, tighten large knobs onto
carriage bolts until knobs on both sides are completely tight.
3. Thread (1) locknut on the end of the carriage bolt and tighten with ½" socket,
only until the threads of the carriage bolt are flush or slightly past the end
of the lock nut. (see picture to the left)
4. Repeat step three on opposite side.
