HOW TO USE YOUR

Applying Detergent With Foamer
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
NOTE: Never use garden hose inlet to siphon
detergent or wax.
DANGER! You MUST attach all hoses and the
spray gun before you start the motor.
WARNING! Before removing any spray gun
extension, be sure to turn off the pressure
washer and relieve pressure by pressing the
trigger. You could be injured if you try to
remove an extension if the pressure washer is
running and there is pressure in the system.
Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed
to clean almost any surface in two easy steps.
 First, apply an appropriate detergent/solvent solution
to penetrate and loosen grime. Apply detergent at
low pressure to avoid splashing, overspraying
and waste. Leave the solution on surface for 3 to 5
minutes to allow solution to work. Reapply as
necessary to keep solution from drying.
 The second step involves cleaning the surface you
have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
 Detach the turbo nozzle extension from the spray
gun.
 Remove the bottle from the foamer.
 Align the locking tabs on the foamer with the
grooves in the gun. Push inward and twist clockwise
to lock in place. (Note: make sure that when you
lock the foamer into place you have the hose that
connects to the foamer bottle hanging downward.)
(Figure 10).
 Prepare your detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer and fill bottle with the solution.
