How can I find out how to fit my hose to the pressure washer as I am having problems fitting it. I may have something missing but as I have no manual I am going mad.
Please help

rupert your answer is incorrect information as that model washer is completly different fittings the dw1480bv dose not have connecters on the back it has 2 threaded connecters at the base of the unit one outlet which the wand+hose connect to and the 2nd connection is the inlet , the hoselock connecters u refer are of no use to conect to the washer itself all the fittings u listed will do is connect her garden hose to her outside tap she would still need a 2nd threaded connector to attach to the washer itself

Hi Sue,

See link below which is for a very similar model to yours, the water connection method is the same.

The summerise, you will need a hozelock style connector on the end of your garden hose, (the type that you pull back the outer collar to disconnect) this pushes onto the water inlet on the back of the machine. The hose that came with the machine connects to the outlet on the front of the machine and the lance is fitted to the other end of this hose.

Argos would have sold this machine, so calling their customer service number may help you obtain the original owners manual.
