For instructions on connections and use, see in-line chemical injector operating instructions 3.
Operating Instructions Pressure Washing WEAR PROPER FACE PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING A PRESSURE WASHER! 1. Select the cleaning nozzle or accessory best suited for the cleaning job. NOTE: Some accessory nozzles function as both a high pressure cleaning nozzle and low pressure chemical injector nozzle (i.e. vari-tip nozzles). See specific accessory nozzle operating instructions for more information.
Cleaning Nozzles There are up to five different quick connect nozzle spray tips, four high pressure and one low pressure “Soap” nozzle. The operator can select a high pressure nozzle spray pattern which best suits the cleaning application. THE BLASTER: (RED) Provides a concentrated spot of high pressure water allowing you to be further from the surface being cleaned and to blast off stubborn material.
To prevent streaking, DO NOT allow detergent to dry on. IMPORTANT: You must flush the injection system after each use by placing siphon hose into a bucket of clean water, then run pressure washer in low pressure (Black nozzle) for 2 minutes. www.simpsoncleaning.com...
- Simpson pump oil is recommended as the first choice. Change Simpson pump oil at 250 hour intervals. - If Simpson pump oil is not available, a high quality 30 weight non-detergent oil may be used. These oils should be changed every 100 hours.
