®
HOUSE +
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
®
SNOW FOAM AUTO
WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
®
HEAVY DUTY CLEANER
(SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, ammable material, or
industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure
washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution
bottle.
mWARNING! When being used with detergent, the unit
MUST NOT be set to a high pressure setting.

time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on
the surface.
6. Upon completion of detergent application, detach the
detergent tank to clean by removing the two screws that
used to x the detergent tank (Fig. 18).

remaining detergent. Then, remove and store for later use.
