. Hose Connections
1.
Connect high pressure hose to machine outlet.
2.
Connect gun/lance assembly to high pressure hose.
3.
Check inlet water filter is clean then connect water supply hose to machine.
Incoming water supply must deliver double the flow of the machine. If questionable, check
supply at machine. If supply is insufficient, do not operate from this outlet. For residential use,
the outlet closest to the meter will usually deliver the highest flow rate. Connect only to clean
town water supply.
Warning:
Do not operate from tank or pond. Doing so will cavitate the pump causing damage.
Cavitation or pump starvation is not covered by warranty. Cavitation is a phenomenon causing
vacuum pockets to form within the pump that eventually implode under pressure pitting the
internal pump surfaces.
