Servicing of double-insulated machine
In a double-insulated machine, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
are provided for a double-insulated machine, nor should
grounding means be added to the machine. Servicing a
double-insulated machine requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated machine must
be identical to the original parts. A double-insulated
machine is marked with the words “Double Insulation "or
“Double Insulated.” Machine may also be marked with
symbol shown in Figure 1.

Pre-operation
Adjusting fan pattern
The angle of spray coming out of the lance may be
adjusted on some lances by rotating the nozzle. This will
vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow
high impact stream to a 60° wide fan spray. (See Figure2).

Trueshopping
www.trueshopping.co.uk
14
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning
surface and results in maximum deep cleaning in a
concentrated area. However, this narrow high impact
spray must be used cautiously, as it may damage some
surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water
over a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action
with a reduced risk of surface damage. Large surface
areas can be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan
pattern.
Nozzle cleaning instructions

Trueshopping
www.trueshopping.co.uk
15
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a
significant reduction of water coming out of the nozzle and
cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. To clean out the
nozzle:
• Turn off and unplug unit.
• Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure trapped in
the hose by squeezing trigger 2-3 times.
• Separate lance from gun.
• Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting. This opens
up the fan blades.
• Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded paper clip,
insert wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth
until debris is dislodged. (See Figure 5.)
• Remove additional debris by back-flushing water
through the nozzle. To do this, place end of a garden hose
(with water running) to end of nozzle for 30-60 seconds.

Trueshopping

Angle to the cleaning surface
When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact
is generated when the water strikes the surface “head
on.”
However, this type of impact tends to cause dirt particles
to imbed in the surface, thereby preventing the desired
cleaning action. The optimum angle for spraying water
against a cleaning surface if 45 degrees.
Spraying water against a surface at this angle provides for
the most beneficial impact force combined with efficient
removal of debris from the surface.

Trueshopping
www.trueshopping.co.uk
17
Distance from cleaning surface
Another factor that determines the impact force of the
water is the distance from the spray nozzle to the cleaning
surface. The impact force of the water is increased as the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface.
How to avoid damaging surfaces
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact
force of the water exceeds the durability of the surface.
The impact force can be varied by controlling the three
previously noted items. Never use a narrow high impact
stream or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is
susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a
narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle as this may
cause breakage.
The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces is to follow
these steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide
fan pattern.
2.Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from and 45
degrees to the cleaning surface, and trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the
cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved without damaging the surface.

Turbo nozzle(Not included with all models)
A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a rotary nozzle,
is a very effective tool that can significantly reduce
cleaning time. The turbo nozzle combines the power of a
narrow high impact stream and the efficiency of a 25
degree fan pattern. This swirls the narrow high impact
stream into a cone shape that cleans a larger area.
CAUTION: Since a turbo nozzle uses a narrow high
impact stream, only use it in applications where the
cleaning surface cannot be damaged by narrow high
impact spray. Additionally, the turbo nozzle is not
adjustable and cannot be used to apply detergent.
Adjustable spray nozzle
Turn off the spray lance first, hold the rear part of spray
nozzle, then turn the front part of spray nozzle clockwise.
Water may be sprayed out from the spray nozzle in fan
shapes (fig 1); turn the front part of spray nozzle
withershins, water may be sprayed out from the spray
nozzle linearly (fig 2).

Low/high pressure adjustable lance
Using high pressure: Please make sure the trigger is
released and there is not any water spraying. Then turn
the rear part of spray nozzle withershins (fig 4). Squeeze
the trigger, the gun will spray water with high pressure.
Using low pressure: Please make sure the trigger is
released and there is not any water spraying. Then turn
the rear part of spray nozzle clockwise (fig 3). Squeeze
the trigger, the gun will spray water with low pressure.
CAUTION: Selection of high or low pressure by turning
action. The selection of the pressure must be carried out
with the gun in closed position.
