Operating Instructions
Operation Tips
•
When using detergent, fill bottle with a properly
formulated detergent-to-water ratio, following
instructions on the container.
•
DO NOT use thick, gel-like detergents, as they will clog
the power washer and can cause damage.
•
It is normal to hear the motor run intermittently when
the trigger is not being squeezed. The pump is priming
itself to operate when the trigger is squeezed.
•
Turn off the power washer if not being used after five
minutes.
•
The O-rings in the hose should be cleaned regularly
and lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as
petroleum jelly.
•
Keep the cleaning wire nearby for unclogging the
spray nozzle.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
•
Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs when
the impact force of the water pressure exceeds the
durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated;
paint can be peeled off, etc. You can vary the force of
the power washer by adjusting:
1. The angle of the nozzle to the surface being
cleaned.
2. The distance from the nozzle to the surface
being cleaned.
•
NEVER use a narrow, high-pressure stream of water on
soft surfaces.
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. Hardware
stores or home centers may offer detergents for
different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution
should be the consistency of water in order to prevent
detergent bottle and spray tip from clogging.
• The cleaning power of the detergent is enhanced when
applied with low pressure and enough time is given to
break down dirt and grime.
• When finished applying detergent, remove excess
detergent from the on board tank and run one tank of
clear water to thoroughly clean all excess detergent
out.
• Remove and clean the detergent filter on the siphon
tube to avoid detergent from caking and clogging the
filter.
• 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, apply detergent to lower surfaces first and
work your way up to prevent streaks in the dirt and
grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from
bottom up for same reason.
• For tough stains, it may be necessary to reapply the
detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub the stain.
Subsequent power washing after brushing should
successfully remove dirt
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter

cleaned periodically.
