APPLYING DETERGENT
1.
Only use the black soap nozzle for detergent.
2.
Rinse surfaces with cool water before applying cleaner.

Prepare detergent as required. For best resultsfollow detergent directions as supplied from
manufacturer. Remove cap from the detergent container and fill. The soap tank capacity is 1.1 litres.
4.
Spray detergent on surface. For best results use long, even, and overlapping strokes. Allow detergent to set
for about 3 minutes before rinsing, but do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface or it may cause
streaking or damage. Use good judgment.
5.
To clean equipment after use, flush water through the spray nozzle for 1-2 minutes then shut off engine.
Soak nozzle in a bucket of clean water to remove detergent. To empty out the soap from the pressure
washer, disconnect the hose found underneath the pressure washer and let the remaining soap drain out.
PRESSURE WASHER RELEASE VALVE
If pressure within the tank exceeds the recommended PSI, excess water will
begin to spray out of the pressure release valve located next to the water
inlet. This is perfectly normal and acts as a corrective measure to ensure that
the right amount of pressure is being used.
However, if water seems to always be leaking, it’s time for your pressure
release valve to be replaced. Please call our customer service phone line to
order parts and learn about the replacement process.
