4. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
5. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing

WARNING!
Do not make changes to the nozzle while
the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the
pressure washer or injury to the user.
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.
m
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. Remove the cap from the detergent tank and fill the tank
with detergent (Fig. 17).

3. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate
the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with

CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.

5. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on
the surface.
m
CAUTION!
Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
7. When finished using the pressure washer, you must first
drain and rinse the detergent tank. Run the pressure
washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from
the detergent tank.
m
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cleaning
instructions will cause the injection system to become
clogged and inoperable.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
