CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. These
can be purchased online at our website www.
stanleyypressurewashers.com. Hardware stores or
home centers also have power washer detergents
for different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution
should be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure.
The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced
when applied with low pressure and enough
time is given to break down dirt and grime. The
combination of low pressure and chemical action is
very effective and can be better than scrubbing if
applied properly.
ALWAYS
spray detergent on a dry
surface.
DO NOT
pre-soak area. Wetting the surface
first dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
DO
NOT
allow detergent to dry on surface. On vertical
surfaces being cleaned, apply detergent to lower
surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent
from causing streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse
detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for
same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary
to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush to
scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after
brushing should successfully complete your cleaning
job.
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screens inside the clear garden hose adapter
should be cleaned periodically. Rinse it with clean
water, and then place it back in the adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
significant reduction of water pressure coming out
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by
squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the
spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to
right.
• Remove the lance from the spray gun
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an
unfolded paper clip), insert the wire into the
nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is
dislodged.
• Tap quick connect end of lance on hard surface
several times
• Back flush water through the nozzles using garden
hose and highest pressure available (either standard
water nozzle or use your thumb over the nozzle to
create water pressure for back flush).
