Care And Maintenance - Kobalt KPW 2N1 Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• NEVER use a narrow high pressure stream of water on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the 25˚ angle quick connect nozzle when cleaning windows. Be sure to place the nozzle
approximately four to five feet away from the window with the nozzle at forty five degree angle.
Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved.
• NEVER use a narrow high pressure stream of water on soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
• Use the variable spray nozzle when cleaning windows. Be sure to adjust the nozzle to low spray
and place the nozzle approximately four to five feet away from the window with the nozzle at forty
five degree angle. Squeeze the trigger and vary the spray pattern and angle until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved.
Using Power Cord
• Easily remove the power cord from the unit by
swiveling the cord hook to the right or left. The power
cord then can be easily slid off to either side of the
power washer unit.
• Swivel cord hook back to center when ready to wrap
the cord back into place for storage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Detergents
• Use detergents designed for power washers. 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.
• This system applies detergent under low pressure. The cleaning power of the detergents
is enhanced when applied with low pressure and enough time is given to break down 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 way up to prevent detergent from causing
streaks in the dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by pressure washing from bottom up for same
reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to reapply the detergent and use a bristled brush
to scrub the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing should successfully complete your
cleaning job.
