                        Operating the Washer PRIMING THE PUMP  1. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time  the water supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use. 2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops.  Water flow will  constrict the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight. 3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose.   NOTE:  The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun  assembly at this time.  See "Nozzle Connection" . 4.
