Detergents (J1, J2, J3, J4)
For steps on attaching the detergent/soap bottle, please refer
to Attaching Soap Bottle under
Bottle under Assembly.
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time
and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Some detergents
have been customized for pressure washer use on specific
cleaning tasks.
The cleaning power of detergents comes from applying them
to a surface and giving the chemicals time to break down
the dirt and grime. Detergents work best when applied at
low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high pressure rinsing
is very effective.
On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom
and work your way upward. This will prevent the detergent
from sliding down and causing streaks. High pressure rinsing
should also progress from the bottom to top. On particularly
tough stains, it may be necessary to use a brush in combina-
tion with detergents and high pressure rinsing.

Maintenance

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
unit off and disconnect it from power source before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or acces-
sories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your Black+Decker power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Warning! Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry
air at least once a week.
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear approved eye
protection when performing this procedure.
Warning! Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals
may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a
cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Nozzle Cleaning (Fig. G)
If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign materials, such as
dirt, excessive pressure may develop. If the nozzle becomes
partially clogged or restricted, the pump pressure will pulsate.
Clean the nozzle immediately using the nozzle cleaner.
Turn OFF and unplug the pressure washer unit ( 16 ).
u
Turn OFF the water supply.
u
Pull trigger ( 7 ) on spray handle ( 4 ) to relieve any
u
