Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information about cleaning. 5. 1. 1 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface being cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do not dry up. Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be damaged. 5. 1. 2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. ½ m (to mark) into a tube or drain and activate the trigger of the spray handle. The nozzle opening turning backwards will pull the cleaner through the tube. [. . . ] If your high pressure washer or accessories are handed in for repair, a copy of the receipt must be enclosed.
