CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 consistency 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. 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.
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.

Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
significant reduction of water pressure coming out
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by
squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the
spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to
right.
• Remove the lance from the spray gun.
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an
unfolded paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle
hole and move back and forth until debris is
dislodged.
• Tap quick connect end of lance on hard surface
several times.
• Back flush water through the nozzles using garden
hose and highest pressure available (either
standard water nozzle or use your thumb over the
nozzle to create water pressure for back flush).
