HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES

Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water
exceeds the durability of the surface. The impact force can be varied by
controlling the three previously noted items. Never use a narrow high impact
stream or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible to damage.
Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle as
this may cause breakage. The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces is to
follow these steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 1,5 meter from and 45 degrees to the
cleaning surface, and trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface
until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.
TURBO NOZZLE (NOT INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS)
A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a rotary nozzle, is a very effective tool
that can significantly reduce cleaning time. The turbo nozzle combines the
power of a narrow high impact stream and the efficiency of a 25 degree fan
pattern. This swirls the narrow high impact stream into a cone shape that cleans
a larger area.
CAUTION: Since a turbo nozzle uses a narrow high impact stream, only use it
in applications where the cleaning surface cannot be damaged by narrow high
impact spray. Additionally, the turbo nozzle is NOT adjustable and cannot be
used to apply detergent.
DETERGENTS
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the
removal of difficult stains. Some detergents have been customized for pressure
washer use on specific cleaning tasks. These detergents are approximately as
thick as water. The use of thicker detergents, such as dish soap, will clog the
chemical injection system and prevent the application of the detergent.
The cleaning power of detergents comes from applying them to a surface and
giving the chemicals time to break down the dirt and grime. Detergents work
best when applied at low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high pressure rinsing is very effective.
On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work your
way upward. This will prevent the detergent from sliding down and causing
streaks. High pressure rinsing should also progress from the bottom to top. On
particularly tough stains, it may be necessary to use a brush in combination with
detergents and high pressure rinsing.

6. OPERATION

The following cleaning procedure will help you to organize your cleaning task,
and ensure that you achieve the most beneficial results in the shortest amount
of time. Remember to use the spraying/cleaning techniques previously listed.
