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 jet or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible
to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact jet or turbo nozzle as this may cause
breakage.
Follow these simple steps to avoid damaging your surfaces:
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
17).
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 for specific cleaning
tasks. These detergents are approximately as thick as water.
Detergent Applicator
Only use detergents that are specifically
made for pressure washers or you could
damage the seals/ components inside the
pressure washer.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
directions for mixing the correct
concentrations of detergent to water.
The ratio through the pressure washer is
approximately 5.4% (1 to 19).
1. Unscrew top of detergent container
and fill container with detergent.
2. Replace top on container.
3. Attach detergent container to gun.
If the detergent is used too quickly, we recommend that you dilute the detergent in the container with
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 rinsing should also progress from the bottom upwards. On particularly tough
stains it may be necessary to use a brush in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
