Children should not be allowed to touch or operate pressure
washers. All pressure washers should be kept out of reach
of children. When NOT in use keep the pressure washer
preferably stored or locked in a secure well ventilated cabinet

CLEANING TIPS
Deck Cleaning
- with or without detergent
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using
deck wash, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning
solution and apply to surface at low pressure.
For best results, limit your work area to smaller sections of
approximately 2m2, allow deck wash to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. For stubborn dirt/stains you can use a patio cleaner
head (not supplied).
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 75mm to 150mm from the cleaning
surface. Always clean from top to bottom and from left to right.

ensure a more even cleaning result.
House Siding
- with or without detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using house
wash, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning
solution and apply to surface at low pressure (for best results,
limit your work area to sections of approximately 2m wide and
always apply detergent from bottom to top ).
Allow house wash to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface, if surface appears to be
drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water.
If needed, use special cyclone nozzle attachment (not supplied)
to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure from top to
bottom in an even sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 150mm from the cleaning surface.
Cement Patios, Brick & Stone
- with or without detergent
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water,
If using all purpose cleaner, place detergent suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low
pressure. For best results, limit your work area to smaller

to surface at low pressure.
For best results, clean one side of vehicle at a time and always
apply detergent from bottom to top, do not allow detergent to
dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a sweeping motion
keeping the spray nozzle approximately 150mm to 200mm from
the cleaning surface (distance should increase with in rinsing
pin-striping or other sensitive surfaces).
