How To Clean Cleaning nozzles • A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause significant reduction of water pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. • Turn off the unit • Turn off the water supply to the unit • Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the spray gun by pushing the lock button from left to right. • The screens inside the adapter should be cleaned periodically.

Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved. Detergent Injector/Storage • Use detergents designed for power washers.
