1. Ensure the engine is turned off and cooled down.
2. Carefully align the pump's shaft with the engine's output shaft, ensuring the keyway is properly seated.
3. Secure the pump to the engine using the four mounting bolts. Tighten bolts evenly to prevent misalignment.
4. Verify that the pump is firmly attached and there is no wobble.

3.3 Connecting Hoses

1. Water Inlet: Connect a standard garden hose from your water supply to the pump's garden hose inlet. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent air leaks, which can damage the pump.
2. High-Pressure Outlet: Connect your high-pressure hose to the 22mm male outlet on the pump. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. Chemical Injector (if applicable): If your model includes a chemical injector siphon tube, insert it into the appropriate port and place the other end into your cleaning solution.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Before Starting: Ensure all hoses are connected, the water supply is turned on, and the engine has sufficient fuel and oil. Squeeze the spray gun trigger to purge air from the pump and hose until a steady stream of water emerges.
2. Starting the Engine: Follow your engine manufacturer's instructions for starting. Once the engine is running, the pump will begin to pressurize.
3. Operation: Squeeze the spray gun trigger to begin spraying. The unloader valve will regulate pressure when the trigger is released.
4. Stopping: Release the spray gun trigger, allow the engine to idle for a few moments, then turn off the engine. Turn off the water supply and squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your Himore Pressure Washer Pump.

• After Each Use: Flush the pump with clean water to remove any chemical residues. Disconnect hoses and store them properly.
• Winterization (for cold climates): To prevent freezing damage, drain all water from the pump and hoses. Consider using a pump saver solution.
• Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections and seals for leaks. Replace worn O-rings or seals as needed.
• Inspect Inlet Screen: Ensure the inlet screen on the garden hose connection is clean and free of debris.
• Oil Changes: Refer to your pressure washer engine manual for engine oil change intervals. The pump itself is typically a sealed unit and does not require oil changes.
