Husky Power Washer Instructions
- 1). Remove the water plug from the high pressure outlet with a pair of pliers and discard it. You will only have to do this if the unit has not been used. The plug is located on the front of the unit, near the bottom.
- 2). Connect the high pressure hose to the high pressure outlet.
- 3). Fasten the garden hose to the water inlet at the back of the unit. Some models require the use of a hose quick connector.
- 4). Attach the other end of the hose to the water supply.
- 5). Plug the unit into the wall electrical socket. The plug is a ground-fault circuit interrupter. Test the GFCI in the outlet before using the pressure washer. Once the GFCI is plugged in, the indicator light will turn red. Press the test button and be sure the red light disappears. Press "reset" and the unit is ready for use.
- 6). Turn on the water.
- 7). Put on safety goggles.
- 8). Release the lock on the trigger.
- 9). Depress the trigger on the gun until the water runs in a steady stream.
