Angle To Cleaning Surface
The optimum angle for spraying water against a
cleaning surface is 45 degrees.
How To Avoid Damaging Surfaces
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force of the water exceeds the
durability of the surface. Never use a narrow high impact stream or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a
surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact
stream or turbo nozzle as this may cause damage. To avoid possible damage follow these
three steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from and 45 degrees to the cleaning surface, and
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.
CAUTION: Car paintwork / bodywork and other surfaces can be damaged by the high pressure
jet, in particular, caution should be taken with new, damaged or unsecured paint. Damage is
not covered by the warranty.
Detergents
Use specialist pressure washer detergents – household detergents may be thicker and will clog
the detergent injection system.
1. Fill detergent bottle with pressure washer
detergent.
2. Remove front section of Vario lance from
Spray gun.
3. Attach Detergent bottle to lance (see figure 6).
4. Operate pressure washer as normal to dispense foam - ensure you follow detergent
manufacturers usage instructions.
5. Flush Detergent bottle with clean water after each use.
