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

GHA

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 and chemical

action is very effective and can be better than scrubbing if

applied properly. Always spray detergent on a dry surface,

do not pre-soak area. Wetting the surface first dilutes the

detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. Do not allow

detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being

cleaned, apply detergent to lower surfaces and work your

Pump

way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks in the

dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from

bottom up for same reason.

High Pressure Hose

• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply

the detergent and use a stiff bristled brush to scrub the

stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should

successfully complete your cleaning job.

•

When your pressure washing session has been completed,

turn off the power switch located on the back of the power

washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the

water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times

to drain out the excess water and to release any remaining

water pressure. Disconnect the garden hose adapter from

the water inlet. Do not allow the power washer to run with no

water flowing through it.

•

The GHA should be stored in the accessory holder when your

unit is not in use to prevent loss or damage (Fig. 22).

•

Remove high pressure hose from spray gun (Fig. 23) and

unscrew the other end of the high pressure hose from the

power washer (Fig. 24).

•

Remove lance or detergent bottle from the gun and place in

the accessory holder. Place the gun in the accessory holder
