5. Operating Instructions

Once the surface cleaner is properly connected and the pressure washer is running, you can begin cleaning. The casters allow for smooth movement across surfaces.

1. Engage Spray: Squeeze the trigger on your pressure washer wand to begin the high-pressure spray. The rotary bar inside the surface cleaner will activate.
2. Move Evenly: Guide the surface cleaner over the area to be cleaned using slow, overlapping passes. Avoid holding the unit stationary for too long, as this can cause uneven cleaning or damage to the surface.
3. Maintain Overlap: Ensure each pass slightly overlaps the previous one to prevent streaks and achieve a uniform clean.
4. Edge Cleaning: For edges and corners, you may need to use the pressure washer wand directly or carefully maneuver the surface cleaner.
5. Rinse: After cleaning with the surface cleaner, it is often beneficial to rinse the entire area with a wide-spray nozzle on your pressure washer wand to remove loosened dirt and debris.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your surface cleaner.

1. Cleaning After Use: After each use, rinse the surface cleaner thoroughly with clean water to remove any dirt, debris, or chemical residues.
2. Nozzle Inspection and Replacement: Periodically inspect the spray nozzles for clogs or wear. If the spray pattern becomes inconsistent or pressure drops, the nozzles may need cleaning or replacement. The unit includes two replacement nozzles. To replace, ensure the pressure washer is off and pressure is released, then carefully remove the old nozzles and install new ones.
3. Caster Inspection: Check the casters for smooth rotation and ensure they are free of debris. Lubricate if necessary.
4. Storage: Store the surface cleaner in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the pressure washer and drain any remaining water.
