spray nozzle to the cleaning surface. The
impact force of the water is increased as
the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING
SURFACES
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs
because the impact force of the water
exceeds the durability of the surface. The
impact force can be varied by controlling
the three previously noted items. 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
from and 45 degrees to the cleaning
surface, and trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and
the
distance to the cleaning surface until
optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved
without damaging the surface.
TURBO NOZZLE (NOT INCLUDED WITH
ALL MODELS)
A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a
rotary nozzle, is a very effective tool that
can significantly reduce cleaning time. The
turbo nozzle combines the power of a
narrow high impact stream and the
efficiency of a 25 degree fan pattern. This
swirls
the narrow high impact stream into a cone
shape
that cleans a larger area.
CAUTION: Since a turbo nozzle uses a
narrow
high impact stream, only use it in
applications
where the cleaning surface
cannot be damaged by narrow high
impact
spray. Additionally, the turbo nozzle is
NOT
adjustable and cannot be used to apply
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 dish soap, 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.
The combination of chemical action and
high pressure rinsing is very effective. On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent
starting at the bottom and work your way
upward. This will prevent the detergent
from
sliding down and causing streaks. High
pressure rinsing should also progress
from
the bottom to top. On particularly tough
stains, it may be necessary to use a brush
in combination with detergents and high
pressure rinsing.
Operation
The following cleaning procedure will help
you to organize your cleaning task, and
ensure that you achieve the most
beneficial
results in the shortest amount of time.
Remember to use the spraying/cleaning
techniques previously listed.
1. Surface preparation
Before starting a pressure wash cleaning
job, it is important to prepare the surface
that is to be cleaned. This is done by
cleaning the area of furniture, and making
sure that all windows and doors are
closed
tight. In addition, you should make sure
that
all plants and trees adjacent to the
cleaning
area are protected by a drop cloth. This
