2. Securely close the detergent tank cap.
3. Attach the black Soap Nozzle to the spray wand.
4. Operate the pressure washer as usual. The detergent will be automatically mixed with the water and applied at low pressure.
5. After applying detergent, switch to a high-pressure nozzle (e.g., 25° or Turbo) and rinse the surface thoroughly.

9. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer:

• After Each Use: Flush the system with clean water to remove any detergent residue. Disconnect the water supply and squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure.
• Nozzle Cleaning: Clear any blockages from the nozzle tips using the included nozzle cleaning tool or a thin wire.
• Storage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free area. Drain all water from the pump, hose, and spray gun before storing to prevent freezing damage.
• Hose Reel: Use the integrated hose reel to neatly store the high-pressure hose, preventing kinks and damage.

10. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions:

• No Power: Check the power cord connection, ensure the GFCI is reset, and verify the outlet is functional.
• No Water Pressure: Ensure the water supply is fully open, the garden hose is not kinked, and the nozzles are clear of debris.
• Motor Runs Continuously: This may indicate an air leak in the system. Check all connections for tightness.
• Pulsating Pressure: Could be due to air in the pump, a restricted inlet, or a clogged nozzle. Purge air, check water flow, and clean nozzles.
