Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.

WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
(SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material,
or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the
pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior
to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the
solution bottle.
1. Gently pull the detergent tank out of its storage position
(Fig. 17).

2. Remove the cap. Fill the tank or mix as recommended by
detergent instructions (Fig. 18), and replace it back on the
unit. Secure the cap back into place.

rotating the foamer cannon nozzle. The foam volume can
be adjusted by rotating the adjustable cap, as indicated
below (Fig. 21).
