15° Nozzle (colored yellow): 3. This
Nozzle delivers a powerful 15 degree
spray pattern for intense cleaning of
small areas. This Nozzle should only
be used on areas that can withstand
the high pressure from this Nozzle.
Do not use to clean vehicles.
40° Nozzle (colored white):
4. This
Nozzle delivers a 40 degree spray
pattern and a less powerful stream
of water. It covers a wide area of
cleaning. This Nozzle should be
used for most general cleaning jobs
and for cleaning vehicles.
Low Pressure Nozzle (colored
5.
black): This Nozzle is used to apply
chemicals or cleaning solutions. It
has the least power stream. Do not
use to clean vehicles.
NOtE:
6. Before using the Pressure
Washer to clean patio paving slabs, it
is advisable to test a small area first.
Some paving slabs are manufactured
from inferior materials and the use of
a Pressure Washer could damage the
surface.
Using the detergent Hose
Fill a suitable container with pressure 1.
washer detergent. Always follow
instructions as outlined in the
detergent manufacturer’s manual.
Most automobile detergents are a
2.
combination of a detergent and a
wax solution. These tend to be a
thick viscous liquid. The viscosity
(thickness) of the detergent will
increase in cold weather. It is
recommended that this type of
detergent is diluted with warm water
before filling the container. As a
general guide, a recommended
dilution rate is 50/50. However, a trial
and error process would determine
the ideal dilution rate for a particular
detergent.
A thick, viscous detergent will not flow
3.
freely from the detergent container
and the residue will cause blockage
in the detergent flow system.
After using a detergent the entire
4.
Pressure Washer system should be
thoroughly flushed out with ample
amounts of water.
If at any time the flow rate decreases,
5.
sputters, or is inconsistent, release
the Trigger of the Spray Gun (6)
and turn off the Engine. Squeeze
the Trigger to release any pressure.
Then check the Nozzle (9) of the
Spray Gun for any blockage. If
blockage is suspected, clean the
Nozzle thoroughly. If the problem still
exists, check and clean the Filter on
the Detergent Hose.
cleaning Recommendations
Clean an inconspicuous test area 1.
to help avoid damaging the surface.
Always begin with the fan spray at
a distance of about 3-5 feet from
the surface being cleaned to avoid
damaging the surface of the object.
Make sure the test area is clear of
people and water-prone delicate
objects. If a pressure washer
detergent is to be used, apply the
detergent to this area as well. After
cleaning this area, turn off the Engine
and inspect the area carefully for
any damage or discoloration. If any
damage is noted from the Nozzle
used, use a less powerful Nozzle
when cleaning the rest of the area.
