INTRODUCTION
The Cyclone is designed to attach to a pressure washer
which rotates two high pressure nozzles in the Cyclone.
The nozzles produce spray as well as determine the size
of the swath when cleaning surfaces such as parking
lots, driveways and sidewalks.
Owner/User Responsibility:
The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the
manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings before
using this Cyclone.Warning information should be empha-
sized and understood. If the operator is not fluent in En-
glish, the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings shall
be read to and discussed with the operator in the operator’s
native language by the purchaser/owner, making sure that
the operator comprehends its contents.
Owner and/or user must study and maintain for future
reference the manufacturers’ instructions.
This manual should be considered a permanent
part of the machine and should remain with it if
machine is resold.
When ordering parts, please specify model and
serial number.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of in-
jury, read operating instructions
carefully before using.
1. Read the owner’s manual thor-
oughly. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could cause malfunction
of the machine and result in
death, serious bodily injury and/
or property damage.
WARNING: High pressure stream of
fluid that equipment can produce
can pierce skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury.
2. High pressure developed by
these machines will cause per-
sonal injury or equipment dam-
age. Use caution when operat-
ing. Do not direct discharge
stream at people or animals or severe injury or death
will result.
3. Never make adjustments on machine while it is in
operation.
4. Eye safety devices and foot protection must be worn
when using this equipment.
5. The best insurance against an accident is precau-
tion and knowledge of the machine.
6. Never expose any parts of the body, such as feet or
fingers, to the underside of base when spray arms
are rotating. Never tilt or attempt to work on under-
side of base while pressure washer is running or
spray arms are rotating.
WARNING: High pressure spray
can cause paint chips or other par-
ticles to become airborne and fly
at high speeds.
7. Safety clothing and protective
eye covering must be worn.
8. The Cyclone comes equipped
with two #3 nozzles in the ro-
tating swivel. Check your ma-
chine nozzle size before using.
9. We will not be liable for any alterations made to our
standard machines, or the application of any com-
ponents not purchased from us.
10. Pressure must NOT exceed 4,000 PSI. Tempera-
ture must NOT exceed 200°F. Flow rate must NOT
exceed 6 GPM.
11. To protect from freezing, squeeze the trigger lever
after you turn off the pressure washer and have dis-
connected the high pressure hose from the Cyclone.
This will allow water to drain through the nozzles.
GENERAL OPERATING
TECHNIQUES
1. Disconnect pressure washer spray gun from high pres-
sure hose. These items are not included, but are pro-
vided with the soon to be attached pressure washer.
2. Attach the female nipple, supplied with the Cyclone,
to the pressure washer high pressure hose.
NOTE: We recommend using no mar hose to
prevent black marks from appearing on the clean-
ing surface.
3. Couple pressure washer high pressure hose to Cyclone.
4. Inspect your pressure washer nozzle size. The Cy-
clone surface cleaner comes with two #3 nozzles. If
your pressure washer requires a nozzle larger than
a #6, consult with your local dealer.
NOTE: For ideal cleaning, the Cyclone must be
attached to a minimum 4 gpm at 3,000 psi pres-
sure washer.
5. Turn on water supply and start pressure washer.
6. Pull the trigger for water to start cleaning surface.
NOTE: Never stop moving the Cyclone while trig-
ger is engaged and surface is being sprayed or
damage to surface could occur.

NOZZLE CHART
Correct nozzle size is important for optimum cleaning efficiency. The Cyclone is shipped with two #3, 15°nozzles in rotary swivel. Review
correct nozzle size for your pressure washer. See chart below for correct nozzle size. To obtain the correct nozzle size in the rotary swivel, divide
the minimum nozzle size for the pressure by two. Round this figure up to the nearest half nozzle size. These are the 1/8" nozzles only (two
needed) for the rotary swivel on the Cyclone.
