3.  Vary the fan pattern spray 

angle and the distance to the 
cleaning surface until optimum 
cleaning efficiency is achieved 
without damaging the surface.

A clogged or partially clogged 
nozzle can cause a significant 
reduction of water coming out of 
the nozzle and cause the unit to 
pulsate while spraying.

To clean out the nozzle:
•  Turn off the unit.
•  Turn off the water supply.  

Relieve any pressure trapped 
in the hose by squeezing the 
trigger 2 - 3 times.

•  Separate lance from gun.
•  Rotate nozzle to the narrow 

stream setting.  This opens up 
the fan blades.

•  Using the included tip cleaner, 

or an un-folded paper clip, 
insert wire into the nozzle hole 
and move back and forth until 
debris is dislodged.

•  Remove additional debris by 

back-flushing water through 
the nozzle.  To do this, remove 
the lance from the gun, place 

end of a garden hose (with 
water running) to tip of nozzle 
pushing water and debris out 
the back opening of the lance.

The use of detergents can 
dramatically reduce cleaning time 
and assist in the removal of difficult 
stains.  Some detergents have been 
customized for pressure washer use 
on specific cleaning tasks.  These 
detergents are approximately as 
thick as water.  The use of thicker 
detergents, such as dish soap, will 
clog the chemical injection system 
and prevent the application of the 
detergent.

The cleaning power of detergents 
comes from applying them to a 
surface and giving the chemicals 
time to break down the dirt and 
grime.  Detergents work best when 
applied at low pressure.

The combination of chemical action 
and high pressure rinsing is very 
effective.  On vertical surfaces, 
apply the detergent starting at 
the bottom and working your way 
upward.  This will prevent the 
detergent from sliding down and 
causing streaks.
