• Turn off the unit
• Turn off the water supply to the unit
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing
the trigger 2-3 times, and then lock the spray gun by
pushing the lock button from left to right.
• Take off the adjustable lance. Rotate the nozzle on the
adjustable lance to the narrow stream setting which
opens up the fan blades (Fig. 20).
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded
paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle hole and move
back and forth until debris is dislodged (Fig. 21). Back
ush water through the nozzles using garden hose and
highest pressure available (either standard water nozzle
or use your thumb over the nozzle to create water pres-
sure for back ush).
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the
impact force of the water pressure exceeds the durability
of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can
be peeled off, etc. You can vary the force of your power
washer by controlling:
o the fan pattern of the nozzle (when using the
adjustable nozzle)
o the angle of the surface being cleaned
o the distance of the nozzle from the surface being
cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the
turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the adjustable spray lance when cleaning windows.
Be sure to adjust the nozzle to a wide fan spray pattern
and place the nozzle approximately four to ve feet away
from the window with the nozzle at forty ve degree
angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the fan spray pattern
and angle until optimum cleaning efciency is achieved
(Fig. 22).
Detergent Bottle
• Use detergents designed for power washers. We
offer four power washer detergents. They are Auto,
Motorcycle, Boat and Universal. These can be purchased
online at our website www.arblueclean.com. Hardware
stores or home centers also have power washer
detergents for different cleaning projects. The cleaning
solution should be the consistency of water in order to
prevent clogging your detergent bottle and nozzle.
• When using the detergent bottle, our power washer’s
application ratio of water to detergent is 10:1 or 10 parts
water to 1 part detergent. You will need to adjust the
concentration ratio of the detergent, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The
cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced when
applied with low pressure; and time is allowed to break
down the dirt and grime. The combination of low pressure
