Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING!
To apply detergents, you must use the low
pressure setting and the fan spray setting on the spray nozzle.
This setting will gently apply the detergent at a pressure
equivalent to a low-set garden hose. The high-pressure setting
on the spray nozzle is used for rinsing. You cannot apply
detergents when working at high pressure setting on the
spray nozzle.
The pressure settings on the unit will not affect the using
of detergent.
m
WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
(SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material,
or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the
pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior
to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the
solution bottle.
1. Set the adjustable nozzle to the low-pressure, fan-spray
setting (Fig. 18).
