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.
For additional cleaning power, the unit comes equipped with a
detergent spray bottle with foam cannon.
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 foam cannon cap with detergent suction tube
from the bottle.
2. Fill the foam cannon bottle with detergent designed
specifically for use with pressure washers (Fig. 13).

3. Recap the foam cannon, and attach it to the extension
lance by snapping it onto the Quick-Connect collar until it
clicks into place (Fig. 14).

4. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner
will dissolve dirt most effectively.

NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
m
CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with the pressure washer. 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 them. Wash and rinse a
small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger to lock the trigger
(Fig. 11).
4. Remove the detergent bottle with foam cannon by holding
the bottle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job:
1) Spray Nozzle
This nozzle creates the widest area of cleaning with relatively
low pressure. It is intended for light or delicate cleaning
applications such as wood decks and other soft or delicate
surfaces.
2) Turbo Nozzle
This nozzle rotates in a zero to 15 degree circular motion
spray pattern to break down tough dirt and grime. It covers
area of 4 to 8 inches wide, depending on the distance
between the tip and the surface being cleaned.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way
down, making sure to overlap your strokes.
m
IMPORTANT!
NEVER USE:
• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
cleaning surface.
