Cleaning a Surface
•
To start the pressure washer, press the ON button
•
The best angle for spraying water against a cleaning
surface is 45°. Spraying head on tends to cause dirt
particles to imbed in the surface. When working on
vertical surfaces, it is best to apply detergent starting at
the bottom and working upwards which will prevent
the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks.
To disengage the spray handle, release the trigger.
nOTE: Excessive pump pressure may be the result of a
clogged nozzle or brass coupling. Always turn OFF the
pressure washer unit and unplug the unit before attempting
to unclog a nozzle or brass coupler.
