You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
a. the angle of the surface being cleaned
b. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible to
damage.
• Use the high/low nozzle lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray and 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
(Fig. 22).
Detergent Injector/Storage
• Typically, there are different power washer detergents for specific applications, such as auto, motorcycle,
boat and universal. 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 tank and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when
applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to break down the 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.
