Using your Washer

Angle to the Cleaning Surface

When spraying water against a surface, maximum
impact is generated when the water strikes the surface
head on. However, this type of impact tends to cause dirt
particles to embed in the surface, thereby preventing the
desired cleaning action.
The optimum angle for spraying water against a surface
is 45 degrees.
Optimum cleaning angle of 45°

Distance from Cleaning Surface

Another factor that determines the impact force of
the water is the distance from the spray nozzle to the
cleaning surface

Avoid Damaging Surfaces

Damage to surfaces occurs because the impact force of
the water exceeds the durability of the surface. Never
use a narrow high impact stream or a turbo / rotary
nozzle on a surface that is susceptible to damage.
The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces:
1. Adjust the nozzle to a wide spray pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from and 45
degrees to the cleaning surface.
3. Vary the spray pattern, spray angle and the distance to
the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency
is achieved without damaging the surface.

Turbo Nozzle

A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a rotary nozzle,
is a very effective tool that can significantly reduce
cleaning time. The turbo nozzle combines the power of
a narrow high impact stream and the efficiency of a 25
degree spray pattern. This swirls the narrow high impact
stream into a cone shape that cleans a larger area.
A turbo nozzle uses a narrow high impact stream so only
use it in applications where the cleaning surface cannot
be damaged by narrow high impact spray. The turbo
nozzle is not adjustable and cannot be used to apply

detergent.

Detergent
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning
time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Some
detergents have been customised for pressure washer
use. The use of thick detergents such as dish soap,
will clog the chemical injection system and prevent the
application of the detergent. Furthermore, the salt / acid
content can cause irreparable corrosion to the internal
components of the washer and pump.
The cleaning power of detergents comes from applying
them to a surface and giving the chemicals time to
break down the dirt and grime. Detergents work best
when applied at low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high pressure
rinsing is very effective. On particularly tough stains, it
may be necessary to use a brush in combination with
detergents and high pressure rinsing.
