Spray bottle operation- When cleaning with the pressure washer, some
cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks it is
advantageous to use a detergent. A detergent ensures a quick soaking and
allows high pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.
The detergents must not dry on the object being sprayed with pressure
washer.
Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers. Pressure washer
detergents can be obtained at your local hardware store or automotive
store. Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface is 45 degrees.
19
CLEANING
A clogged and partially clogged nozzle can cause a significant reduction of water coming
out of the nozzle and cause the unit to pulse while spraying.
FIG. 40
STORAGE
Store the appliance in premises protected against freezing conditions.
