•
Take off the adjustable lance. Rotate the nozzle on the adjustable lance to the narrow stream
settling which opens up the fan blades. (Fig. 22).
•
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 (Fig. 23). Back /flush water through the
nozzle 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).

Perating
•
If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after five minutes.
•
The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated
with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
•
Keep the nozzle cleaning wire, Which is taped to this manual for use in unclogging the lance
nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire an straightened paper clip works fine.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
•
Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure
exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc.
You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
a. the angle of the surface being cleaned
b. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
•
Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible
to damage.
•
Use the vari-spray lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray and
place the nozzle approximately four to five feet away from the window with the nozzle at forty five
degree angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved.
