SOLUTION
Remove the soap lance assembly from the de-
tergent bottle. Make sure that the clear tube is
properly connected to the soap lance. If it is not
connected then reconnect it.
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.
We recommend that you use a cleaner which is
specifically designed for power washers. There
are different kinds available depending on the
application. Check with your local Home Depot
store for the product which is best suited for
your needs.
Never use Bleach, Ammonia or Hot
water in the unit.
Check that the circuit is rated at 15 amps or
greater. Make sure the unit is plugged into a
dedicated circuit.
Use proper extension cord as recommended in
owner's manual.
Clean Nozzle as instructed in section 6.2.
