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, place 
end of garden hose (with water 
running) to tip of nozzle push-
ing water and debris out the 
back opening of the lance.

Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs 
because the impact force of the 
water exceeds the durability of the 
surface.  You can vary the impact 
force by controlling 

• 

the nozzle’s fan pattern

• 

the nozzle’s angle to the clean-
ing surface

• 

and the nozzle’s distance from 
the cleaning surface

Never use a narrow high impact 
stream or a turbo nozzle on a sur-
face that is susceptible to damage.

Avoid praying windows with a nar-
row high impact stream or turbo 
nozzle. Doing so may break the 
window.  The surest way to avoid 
damaging surfaces is to follow 
these steps.
1.  Before triggering the gun, 

adjust the nozzle to a wide fan 
pattern.

2.  Place the nozzle approximately 

4 - 5 fee away from the clean-
ing surface.  Then hold the 
nozzle at a 45° angle to the 
cleaning surface.  Trigger the 
gun.

3.  Vary the fan pattern spray 

angle and the distance to the 
cleaning surface until optimum 
cleaning efficiency is achieved.

:

• 

Always turn the “ON/OFF” 
switch to “OFF” then trigger 
gun to release hose pressure 
before unplugging the power 
cord.

• 

Risk of equipment damage.  Al-
ways make sure the “ON/OFF” 
switch on the unit is “OFF” and 
unit is unplugged prior to stor-
age.

• 

Risk of Injection.  Unit will 
start spraying when trigger is 
squeezed if “ON/OFF” switch is 
in “ON” position.  Always point 
gun in a safe direction.

• 

Occasionally the motor may run 
for a short time to bring fresh, 
cool water into the pump even 
if the trigger is released.  This 
is part of normal operation and 
will not damage the unit.

:

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

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