cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the
turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the adjustable spray lance when cleaning windows.
Be sure to adjust the nozzle to a wide fan spray pattern
and place the nozzle approximately four to ve feet away
from the window with the nozzle at forty ve degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary the fan spray pattern and
angle until optimum cleaning efciency is achieved (Fig.
21).
Detergent Bottle
• Use detergents designed for power washers. We
offer four power washer detergents. They are Auto,
Motorcycle, Boat and Universal. These can be purchased
online at our website www.arblueclean.com. Hardware
stores or home centers also have power washer
detergents for different cleaning projects. The cleaning
solution should be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• When using the detergent bottle, our power washer’s
application ratio of water to detergent is 10:1 or 10 parts
water to 1 part detergent. You will need to adjust the
concentration ratio of the detergent, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The
cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when
applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to break
down the dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure
and chemical action is very effective and can be better
than scrubbing if applied properly. Always spray detergent
on a dry surface, do not pre-soak area. Wetting the
surface rst dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning
ability. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. On
vertical surfaces being cleaned, apply detergent to lower
surfaces and work your way up to prevent detergent from
causing streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by
pressure washing from bottom up for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to re-
apply the detergent and use a stiff bristled brush to scrub
the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing
should successfully complete your cleaning job.
Storage
• When your pressure washing session has been
completed, turn off the power switch located on the back
of the power washer. Unplug the power cord from the
