Overview

The Greenworks Surface Cleaner, Model #: 30012, is an accessory designed for use with high-pressure cleaners, specifically tailored for cleaning various floor surfaces in a private household setting. Its primary function is to efficiently clean different materials such as plastic, concrete, tiles, and natural stone, making it a versatile tool for outdoor surface maintenance.

Function Description:

The surface cleaner operates by connecting to a high-pressure spray wand, which then delivers pressurized water to its internal nozzles. These nozzles are part of a rotor arm system that spins rapidly, creating a wide, consistent cleaning path. This design helps to prevent striping or swirl marks that can often occur with a standard pressure washer wand, providing a more uniform and effective clean across large flat areas. The device is not intended for scouring or scrubbing, but rather for a gentler, yet powerful, surface cleaning action.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Connections: The surface cleaner features a 1/4" Quick Connect Plug, ensuring easy and secure attachment to compatible high-pressure spray wands.
  • Deck Width: It has an 11" deck width, which allows for efficient cleaning of larger surface areas in a single pass.
  • Maximum Pressure: The device is designed to handle a maximum pressure of up to 2000 psi (pounds per square inch). It is crucial to ensure that the connected pressure washer does not exceed this limit to prevent damage to the surface cleaner.
  • Maximum Water Flow: It supports a maximum water flow of 1.4 gpm (gallons per minute). This specification is important for matching with the output of the pressure washer for optimal performance.
  • Maximum Water Temperature: The surface cleaner can withstand a maximum water temperature of 104 °F (40 °C). Users should always observe the instructions of their high-pressure cleaner regarding water temperature to avoid damage.
  • Components: The main components include a 1/4" quick connection, a casing that houses the internal mechanisms, high-pressure nozzles, and a rotor arm responsible for the cleaning action.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Attachment: Connecting the surface cleaner to the high-pressure spray wand is straightforward. It involves pulling back the quick-connect collar on the spray wand, pushing the surface cleaner's plug into place, and then pushing the collar forward to secure the connection.
  • Stable Operation: Users are advised to ensure a stable position and firmly hold the high-pressure gun with the extension tube or handle during operation, as there can be a recoil force.
  • Safety Precautions: It is essential to wear eye protection with side shields that comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards when operating the machine. No persons should be in the immediate vicinity of the cleaning head during operation. The surface cleaner should always be disconnected from the pressure washer spray wand after use or before servicing.
  • Optimized Cleaning: For best results, outdoor surfaces should be swept before using the surface cleaner to prevent damage to the high-pressure nozzles from debris.
  • Troubleshooting Striping/Swirling: If striping or swirl marks occur, users should slow their pace. If the issue persists, it may indicate clogged nozzles. The manual provides instructions for clearing clogs using a straightened paper clip or a nozzle cleaning tool.
  • Operational Restrictions: The device should not be run over free-standing corners. It is also critical not to lift or tilt the surface cleaner from a horizontal surface while it is connected to the spray gun during operation, as this could lead to damage or improper function.
  • Helpline Support: Greenworks provides a toll-free helpline (1-888-90WORKS or 888.909.6757) for customer support, including warranty service and assistance with product issues.

Maintenance Features:

  • Nozzle Cleaning: In case of clogged nozzles, the surface cleaner must be disconnected from the pressure washer spray wand. A straightened paper clip or a dedicated nozzle cleaning tool can then be used to free any foreign materials.
  • General Cleaning: After use, the appliance can be cleaned with a moist cloth to maintain its condition.
  • Storage: While not explicitly detailed in the provided text, proper storage in a clean, dry environment would be implied to prolong the life of the device, especially considering the warning about routine maintenance for pressure washers to avoid freezing/ice damage.
  • Environmental Protection: The packaging materials are recyclable, and users are encouraged to arrange for proper recycling rather than disposing of them in ordinary refuse. Similarly, old appliances contain valuable recyclable materials, and users should utilize appropriate collection systems for disposal.

Warranty Information:

The Greenworks Surface Cleaner comes with a one (1) year warranty against defects in materials, parts, or workmanship from the date of purchase, provided there is proof of purchase. The warranty covers repairs or replacements for parts found to be defective under normal use, free of charge. This warranty is valid only for units used for personal purposes and maintained according to the owner's manual. It does not cover misuse, commercial use, abuse, neglect, accident, improper maintenance, alteration, normal wear (except as noted), routine maintenance items like draining water to prevent freezing damage, or normal deterioration of the exterior finish. Transportation charges for warranty service are generally the responsibility of the purchaser unless otherwise requested in writing by Greenworks.
