You have two choices, either cut the trigger off or keep it on.  If you keep the trigger you pump a few times and then press the trigger and the water comes out under pressure.  Removing the trigger will give you more of a constant flow every time you work the pump. 

The backpack will probably come with a 10mm outside diameter length of pipe, you want to just add some pole hose to that with a quick connect connecter.  Then get a pole and brush and away you go.

i cut the pipe coming off the backpack, added a Hozelock connection and connected like that

i dont use the trigger switch, just pump away and the pressuse builds up and away you go

wouldnt you find it hard puping the backpack with one arm then holding the wfp in the other?

is that why the ladies call you beefy cos you go to the gym

anyone wearing a shurflo backpack on their back must be super human i think you will find most on here will put it on a trolley of some kind.
Personally i would find it impossible polling windows with one of those on my back

When all is said and done its an excellent piece of kit i wouldnt be without mine

It’s not too bad as the brush is leaning on the glass.  You get used to it but obviously it is not as good as having an electric pump to do it for you.
