Detergent Use

The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning
time and assist in the removal of difficult stains . Many
detergents are customized for pressure washer use on
specific cleaning tasks . Pressure washer detergents are
as thick as water . Using thicker detergents – like dish
soap – will clog the chemical injection system .
NOTE
Use only detergents specially formulated for pressure washers .
You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the
chemical action of detergents with high pressure rinses .
On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the
bottom and work your way upward . This method prevents
the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks .
Begin high pressure rinsing at the bottom and work
your way upward . On particularly tough stains, use a
brush in combination with detergents and high pressure
rinsing .

System flush

After using detergents, flush the suction system by placing
the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean water .
WARNING
NEVER turn the water supply off before turning the
engine/motor off .

CAUTION
Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply .
Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water
source will significantly reduce the life of the pump
and will void your warranty .
CAUTION
Running the unit for more than two minutes without
spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump .
In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal relief
valve will open to release the hot water .
Running the unit without spraying water can damage
pump components and will void your warranty .
