Using the accessories
m
WARNING! High pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment or the appliance itself.
• The washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle.
• Water jet can be adjusted from low pressure fan spray to
high pressure pencil spray by turning the nozzle as shown
(Fig. 10).
m
WARNING! Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Recommended cleaning procedure
• For additional cleaning power, a detergent spray bottle
(Model SPX1DT) attachment is available as an add-on
accessory for the SPX1000. Visit www.snowjoe.com to
purchase.
• Load the bottle with a suitable, non-corrosive detergent and
attach it the spray gun (Fig. 11).
• Using the fan spray, dissolve dirt by applying the 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.
• 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.
