HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES

Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs 
because the impact force of the water 
exceeds the durability of the surface. Never 
use a narrow high impact stream or a turbo/ 

rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible 

to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a 
narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle 
as this may cause breakage. 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 feet 

cleaning surface and begin spraying.

3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the 

distance to the cleaning surface until 

optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved 
without damaging the surface.

 

WATER INLET FILTER

The water inlet filter must be inspected 
regularly, so as to avoid blockage and 
restriction in the water supply to the pump 
(Fig 15).

 

USING DETERGENT

Add detergent to the container (Fig 16) and 
replace the cap. Pls note the minimum
level required, Set the adjustable lance at 
low pressure position (Fig 14). Depress 

trigger to spray detergent.
 

DETERGENTS

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 washing-up liquid, 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. Follow this with a high pressure rinse for 
best cleaning results. On vertical surfaces, apply 
the detergent starting at the bottom and work your 
way upward.  This will prevent the detergent form 

sliding down and causing streaks.  High pressure
