INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
NOZZLE CONNECTION:
1. Be certain the trigger gun is locked in the "OFF" position. See WARNING,
right.
2. The nozzle assembly should be disconnected from the gun assembly at
this time by unscrewing the nozzle/lance assembly from the gun/lance
assembly.
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 strainer to ensure it is clean and free of any
obstructions. Periodic cleaning of the water strainer will help prevent
pump problems. As a strainer becomes obstructed, it restricts proper
flow of water to the pump. This can result in cavitations which will
cause premature failure of pump packings and valves. Using a screw
driver, remove the screen; 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.
NOTE: Do not use a non-pressurized water supply (i.e. from a well or pond)
with this unit.
c. Connect the high pressure discharge hose to the water outlet of the
unit.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be a minimum of 25 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 turned all the way on.
