5.4 Cleaning with Detergents
DETERGENT INJECTOR (LOW
PRESSURE)
To set-up the detergent injector, install it to the siphon
injector fitting on the pump as described in assembly
instructions. Then:
1) Pour the contents of your detergent into a
container and place it next to the pressure washer
pump.
2) When using a detergent, the stainless steel wand
must be fitted with the detergent nozzle (black). This
can be done by pulling the coupler ring backwards
and inserting the detergent nozzle. Release the
coupler ring to lock it in place.
3) Inspect the detergent injector filter, ensuring it is
not clogged. Then place it all the way to the bottom of
the container. The detergent will automatically mix
with the water.
4) If the throttle lever is not in the fast position, the
injection of the detergent may be decreased or stop
completely. If this happens, move the throttle lever
towards the left to increase engine speed and
pressure.
Important Note: When you have finished using the
detergent injector system, remove the injector filter
from the detergent container and place it in a different
larger container containing only clean water and let
the pressure washer run until you no longer notice
detergent coming out of the wand.
5.5 Shutting Down and Cleaning
Up
1. Skip step 2 if you are not using detergent.
2. After cleaning with detergent, fill the detergent tank
with clean water. Spray water at a low pressure for
one minute, so that all detergent is flushed out of the
system.
3. Stop the engine (→ Section 6.4 Stopping Engine).
4. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
supply from the water inlet .
5. Point spray gun in safe direction, push trigger lock,
and squeeze spray gun trigger to relieve retained high
water pressure. Engage the trigger safety lock on the
spray gun.
6. Disconnect the garden hose from the pump.
7. Disconnect the pressure hose from the pump and
pressure gun for storage. For long-term storage
instructions, see section 7.5.
8. Rewind the pressure hose and attach it to the hose
hook.
9. Disconnect the gun and wand, then insert them into
upper gun holder.
10. Fold the handle and store.
NOTE
:
After turning off the machine, wait for 20
minutes to prevent plastic parts from being burned by
muffler, then fold the handle.
WARNING
Turn off the water supply and pull the trigger to
depressurize the unit. Failure to do so might result
in personal injury due to discharge of pressurized
water.
WARNING
Damage may occur to painted surfaces if chemicals
(detergents) are allowed to dry on them. Wash and
rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot
surfaces or under direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT
Working with a detergent ensures quick soaking of
the dirt and allows the high-pressure water to
penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.
Always spray detergent on a
dry
surface; do not
presoak the area. Soaking the surface dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
IMPORTANT
This pressure washer is intended for use with
special pressure washer detergents only. Do not
use powdered soaps, which clog the injection
system. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
directions or call the Simoniz
