  • Page 19: Cleaning Techniques

    CLEANING TECHNIQUES When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks it is advantageous to use a detergent. A detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt allowing the high pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.

  • Page 20: High Pressure/Turbo Spray

    Disconnect the high pressure discharge hose and the water inlet hose. MAINTENANCE CONNECTIONS Connections on Pressure Washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease to prevent leakage and da- mage to the o-rings.

  • Page 21: Lubrication

    2. Backflush the nozzle with water. Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the spray gun. If the pressure is still too high, repeat above items 1-2. LUBRICATION The pressure washer is designed with a permanent lubrication system. Conventional oil check and oil changes are not necessary.

    1. When finished using the pressure washer, you must first drain and rinse the detergent tanks. 2.

    Nozzle. Back flush the Nozzle with water. (see section 5.2) Your Powerwasher draws detergent at a 10:1 ratio. Most pressure washer detergents are gene- rally concentrated within that range so minimal adjustment is required. If you feel like you are using more detergent than is required for the ap- plication you can dilute it with regular tap water.

  • Page 27 The Husky 1800 Powerwasher requires a 15 amp minimum rated circuit to function properly. It is important that your Husky unit does not share a circuit with any other electrical device. If the circuit is shared, the additional device will create an amperage drain that ultimately causes the Husky to draw more amperage in order to run full force.
