CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. Hardware stores
or home centers also have power washer detergents for
different cleaning projects. The cleaning solution should be the
consistency of water in order to prevent clogging your detergent
bottle and nozzle.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning
power of the detergents is enhanced when applied with low
pressure and enough time is given to break down dirt and
grime. The combination of low pressure and chemical action
is very effective and can be better than scrubbing if applied
properly. 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 being cleaned, apply detergent
to lower surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent
from causing streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by
pressure washing from bottom up for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply
the detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub the stain.
Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully
complete your cleaning job.
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screen inside the adapter should be cleaned periodically.
Remove it by dragging a thumb over the screen with enough
pressure to pull the screen and washer out. Rinse it with clean
water and then place it back in the adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause significant
reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or
cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing the
trigger 2 - 3 times,

then lock the spray gun by turning the dial to lock ("3" and "9"
position).
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded paper
clip), insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move back and
forth until debris is dislodged.
• Back flush water through the nozzles using garden hose and
highest pressure available (either standard water nozzle or use
your thumb over the nozzle to create water pressure for back
flush).
Storage
• When your pressure washer session has been completed, turn
off the power switch. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Turn off the water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun
2-3 seconds to drain out the excess water and to release any
remaining water pressure. Do not allow the power washer to run
with no water flowing through it.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun and unscrew the
other end of the high pressure hose from the power washer.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place the gun and lance in the
holster on the sides.
• Make sure to discard any remaining detergent from
the tank. Residual chemical will stick to the container which
