How to Apply Chemicals / Cleaning Solvents

Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation. If your pressure washer is equipped with a detergent siphon hose, follow steps 1-4. If your pressure washer is equipped with an on-board detergent tank, follow steps 5-8:

DETERGENT SIPHON HOSE

1)Press chemical hose onto the barbed fi tting located near the high pressure hose connection on the pump.

2)Place other end of chemical hose with fi lter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution. NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped, one gallon on chemical/cleaning solution will be used.

3)Set your Wand to Low Pressure Setting either by inserting the Black Nozzle into your Wand or pull- ing the Variable Wand Nozzle outwards. See How To use Spray Wand section in this owners manual.

4)After use of chemicals, place chemical hose into container of clean water and draw clean water through chemical injection system to rinse thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the pump it could be damaged. Pumps damaged due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

DETERGENT TANK

5)Fill your detergent tank with pre-mixed cleaning solutions designed for pressure washer use.

6)Check and make sure the “On-Off” valve for the tank is in the “On” position.

NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped, one gallon on chemical/cleaning solution will be used.

7)Set your Wand to Low Pressure Setting either by inserting the Black Nozzle into your Wand or pull- ing the Variable Wand Nozzle outwards. See How To use Spray Wand section in this owners manual.

8)After use of chemicals, refi ll your detergent tank with clean water and operate your chemical injec- tion system to rinse it thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the pump it could be damaged. Pumps dam- aged due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: Only use soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do not use bleach!

NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon when Variable Spray Wand is in the High Pressure Set- ting, or if the Quick Connect Spray Wand is equipped with the Red, Yellow, Green, or White Nozzles. How to Apply Chemicals / Cleaning Solvents Risk of property damage. Never pull water supply hose to move pressure washer.

This could damage the hose and/or the pump inlet.

Do not use Hot water, only use cold water.

Never turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running, or damage to the pump will occur!

Do not stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.
