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 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.

Operation

The following cleaning procedure will 

help you 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

 

It is important to prepare the surface 

 

that is to be cleaned.  This is done 

 

by clearing 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 will ensure that your plants 

 

won’t be sprayed by the detergents.

2.  Initial High Pressure Rinse

 

The next step is to spray the 

 

cleaning surface with water to clear 

 

off any dirt or grime that may have 

 

collected on the surface.  This will 

 

allow your detergent to attack the 

 

deep down dirt that has worked its 

 

way into the cleaning surface.  

 

Before triggering the gun, adjust the 

 

nozzle to a wide fan pattern and 

 

slowly adjust to the desired spray 

 

pattern.  This will help you avoid 

 

applying too much concentrated 

 

spray to the surface which could 

 cause 

damage.

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF 
YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

1.  Never operate the unit without water.

2.  This pressure washer is not 

 

designed to pump hot water. Never 

 

connect it to the hot water supply – 

 

this will significantly reduce the life of 

 the 

pump.

3.  Only use detergents specifically 

 

designed for pressure washers. 

 

Other types of detergent may cause 

 

internal damage to the unit, as might 

 

chemicals such as bleach, 

 

washing-up liquid, etc.

4.  Never operate the unit for more than 

 

one (1) minute without spraying 

 

water. Otherwise, the resulting heat 

 

buildup will damage the pump.

5. Winter Storage:

 

For storage during the winter months  

 

we recommend the use of a solution 

 

of 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. 

 

This will keep the pump from 

 

freezing and getting damaged and 

 

will protect the internal components.

 

Method: You will need a length of 

 

garden hose and a funnel. Attach the 

 

garden hose to the inlet and pour the 

 

antifreeze into the unit via the funnel. 

 

Switch the unit on for a few seconds 

 

to allow the solution to flow through 

 

the system. Disconnect your 

 

pressure washer from the mains 

 

power, then pack away in your 

 storage 

area.

WARNING:

 Before reusing completely 

flush the unit out with plain water. 

Anti-freeze can damage paintwork so 

you must ensure there is no anti-freeze 

left in the system before using it again.
