How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces

• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact

force of the water pressure exceeds the durability of the sur-

face. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc.

You can vary the force of the power washer by controlling:

1. The angle of the surface being cleaned.

2. The distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned.

• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water on soft

surfaces susceptible to damage.

• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle when cleaning windows.

Be sure to 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.

Using Power Cord

• Easily remove the power cord from the unit by swiveling the

cord hook to the right or left. The power cord then can be easily

slid off to either side of the power washer unit.

• Swivel cord hook back to center when ready to wrap the cord

back into place for storage.

MAINTENANCE

Detergents

• Use detergents designed for power washers. Hardware stores or

home centers also have power washer detergents for different

cleaning projects. The cleaning solution should be the consis-

tency 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. Detergent can only be applied and siphoned

in low pressure mode using the soap nozzle. 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 deter-

gent 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 pre-

vent 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 screen inside the adapter should be cleaned periodically.

Remove it by dragging a thumb over the screen with enough

pressure to pull the screen and washer out. Rinse it with clean

water and then place it back in the adapter.
