How to Set Up the Active 2.3 Pressure Washer with Quick Connect Attachments

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Attach Quick-Connects to the Garden Hose and Pump Inlet

Many users of the Active 2.3 prefer to keep their unit attached to their garden hose, only detaching it for storage. However, if you need to detach our unit more frequently, you may want to attach quick connects to your garden hose and pump inlet.

To do so, locate the female 3/4" inlet on your pressure washer’s pump. Ensure the black rubber water-filter gasket is pressed flush against the back of the inlet. Attach the 3/4" Compatible Female Quick-Connect by screwing the fastening nut onto its threads. Hand-tightening is usually enough to create a seal. If a turn with a wrench is required, be sure not to over-tighten.

Attach the 3/4" Compatible Male Quick-Connect to the end of your garden hose.

2. Attach a Quick-Connect to the Pump Outlet

The pump outlet has a male M22-14 fitting. Align the M22-14 Compatible 3/8" Female Quick-Connect and hand-tighten. This will ensure your high-pressure hose connects seamlessly without leakage. If a turn with a wrench is required, be sure not to over-tighten.

3. Attach Quick-Connects to Active Standard Accessories

While Active Premium Accessories come with quick connects, Standard Accessories do not.

The Active Standard High-Pressure Hose has female M22-14 fittings at both ends. To one end, attach a M22-14 Compatible 3/8" Male Quick-Connect. To the other end, attach a M22-14 Compatible 3/8" Female Quick-Connect.

The Active Standard Metal Gun has a male M22-14 fitting. Attach a M22-14 Compatible 3/8" Male Quick-Connect.

Once you've pulled the collars back on each female quick-connect and pushed in each male quick-connect, your Active 2.3 pressure washer will be ready for use!
