OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
USING THE PRESSURE WASHER TO CLEAN:
1)
Some cleaning jobs can be completed by using only water, but for
most, it is advantageous to use a detergent to penetrate and
remove the dirt more effectively. When using pressure washer
approved detergent, make sure the surface first is dry, wetting
the surface first is not recommended; it will dilute the detergent
and will reduce the cleaning effectiveness.
2)
Avoid hot surfaces or direct sunlight; this will minimize the
chances of the detergent damaging the painted surface.
3) DO NOT let the detergent dry or it may damage the painted
surface. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with clean water under high pressure.
4)
Position the tip of the wand 6-8” (15-20cm) away from the
surface to clean at a 45
0
angle. (Fig 14)
WATER SCREEN
This pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet screen (A) Fig.15. This
water screen must be kept clean at all times or else it will restrict the
water flow to the pressure washer and may damage the pump. Remove
the quick connect coupling from the water inlet, remove and clean screen.
Never operate this pressure washer without the water inlet screen in place.
