NOZZLE CLEANING
ATTENTION: DO NOT clean a nozzle while it is connected to the machine. Before disconnecting a
nozzle, make sure the engine is OFF and the water supply is OFF. Use care when cleaning a nozzle
to avoid damaging the nozzle orifice.
The machine may come with a nozzle cleaning wire which can be used if a nozzle becomes blocked. Remove the
nozzle from the machine and carefully insert the end of the wire into the nozzle hole to clear it.
DETERGENT SYSTEM
ATTENTION: Do NOT use chlorine, bleach, tri-sodium phosphate, ammonia, acid-based, caustic, or
corrosive substances in the detergent system as these will damage the machine and may damage
the surface being cleaned. Use liquid car wash or similar mild detergents only. Use of non-
recommended substances in the detergent system will void the product warranty. The use of
detergent requires the correct low-pressure nozzle to be used.
Some machines may be equipped with a detergent tank. Other types may have a detergent port on the pump,
however, require a separate container (not supplied) for the detergent. The "vacuum" created by water flow through
the pump enables the detergent to be drawn into the outlet flow. Some models may have a detergent flow control
on the detergent cap – rotate the cap as required.
