• Streak-Free Finish: Rotating jets are designed to prevent streaking, ensuring a uniform clean.
• Overspray Control: The dome-shaped cover helps contain water spray, protecting adjacent walls and landscaping.
• Compatibility: Specifically designed for gas pressure washers and connects to quick-connect wands for easy setup.

Setup and Assembly

1. Inspect Components: Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.
2. Connect to Pressure Washer: Attach the surface cleaner to your pressure washer's quick-connect wand. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks and maintain pressure.
3. Prepare Surface: Clear the area to be cleaned of any large debris, rocks, or loose items that could interfere with the surface cleaner's operation or cause damage.

Operating Instructions

1. Start Pressure Washer: Follow your pressure washer's instructions to start the engine and ensure water flow.
2. Engage Surface Cleaner: With the pressure washer running, depress the trigger on your wand. The rotating jets inside the surface cleaner will activate.
3. Clean Surface: Move the surface cleaner slowly and steadily across the surface in overlapping passes. Avoid lifting the cleaner off the surface while the jets are active to prevent uneven cleaning or damage.
4. Maintain Consistent Speed: A consistent, slow speed will yield the best results and prevent streaking.
5. Rinse (Optional): For heavily soiled areas, you may wish to follow up with a wide-angle nozzle on your pressure washer to rinse away loosened dirt and debris.

Maintenance

• Nozzle Cleaning: Periodically inspect the spray nozzles for clogs. If clogging occurs, remove the nozzles, clean them thoroughly, and ensure any factory sealant is removed. Reinstall with a small amount of Teflon tape on the threads for a secure seal.
• Post-Use Cleaning: After each use, rinse the surface cleaner with clean water to remove any dirt or chemical residue. Allow it to air dry completely before storage.
• Storage: Store the surface cleaner in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from freezing temperatures or prolonged exposure to elements.

Troubleshooting

• Slow Spinning/Uneven Spray: This often indicates clogged nozzles. Refer to the 'Nozzle Cleaning' section under Maintenance. Ensure your pressure washer is operating at the recommended PSI for the surface cleaner.
• Reduced Cleaning Power: Verify that your pressure washer is delivering adequate pressure. Check for kinks in the hose or blockages in the pressure washer's filter.
• Water Leaks: Ensure all connections, especially the quick-connect to the wand, are tight and properly sealed. Check for damaged O-rings and replace if necessary.
