Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

Operation (Continued)

Initial High Pressure Rinse

Spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have collected on the surface. Doing so allows the detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked its way into the cleaning surface.

Trigger the gun 3 to 5 times to get any trapped air out of the system.

Adjusting the Spray Fan Angle

Two quick connect tips for Model CP5101 or five quick connect tips for Model CP5316 are included with this pressure washer. The tips have a range of spray fan angles, ranging from 0°, narrow high impact, to a 65° wide fan spray.

Pressure can also be adjusted by moving closer or further away from the cleaning surface and by adjusting the spray fan angle as shown.

Angle to the Cleaning Surface

When spraying water against a surface, you can generate maximum impact by striking the surface head on. However, this type of impact can cause dirt particles to embed in the surface and can prevent the desired cleaning action.

The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning surface is 45 degrees.

Spray water against a surface at a 45 degree angle to achieve the most beneficial impact force and to efficiently remove debris.

Distance From Cleaning Surface

The distance between the spray tip and the cleaning surface is another factor that affects the impact force of the water. The impact force of the water increases as the tip is moved closer to the surface.

How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces

Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water exceeds the durability of the surface. You can vary the impact force by controlling the spray tip angle to the cleaning surface and the distance from the cleaning surface and by changing the spray tip. NEVER use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream.

Doing so may break the window. The most sure way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:

1.Before triggering the gun, make sure the quick connect tip you are using is appropriate for the application.

2.Place the spray tip approximately 4-5 feet (1,22-1,52 m) away from the cleaning surface. Then hold the lance and spray tip at a 45 degree angle to the cleaning surface. Trigger the gun.

3.Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.

Detergent Application

Note: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers.Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.

Detergents

The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many detergents are customized for pressure washer use on specific cleaning tasks. Pressure washer detergents are as thick as water. Using thicker detergents – like dish soap – will clog the chemical injection system and prevent the application of the detergent.
