• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated
with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire, Which is taped to this manual for use in unclogging the lance
nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire an unbent paper clip works fine.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure
exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc.
You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
a. the angle of the surface being cleaned
b. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible
to damage.
• Use the high/low nozzle lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray
and place the nozzle approximately four to five feet away from the window with the nozzle at
forty five degree angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum
cleaning efficiency is achieved (Fig. 23) .
Detergent Injector/Storage
• Use detergents designed for power washers. We offer four (4) power washer detergents,
Auto, Motorcycle, Boat and Universal. These can be purchased online at our website www.
arblueclean.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 tank and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the detergents
is enhanced when applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to break down the 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.
S
torage
• Remove lance from the gun and place in the accessory holder. Place the gun in the accessory
holder one the side. Lances are placed into any of the slots in the back of the unit. Make sure
to discard any remaining detergent from the bottle. Flush the bottle and nozzle head with fresh
water to prevent clogging.
• When your pressure washing session has been completed, turn off the power switch located on
