The higher the PSI number, the greater the pressure and stripping power produced. ● GPM – Stands for gallons per minute and measures the ow rate of the water. The higher the GPM, the greater the ow or rinsing power produced. ● CU – stands for cleaning units. PSI x GPM = CU. Measures performance e󰀩ciency of the pressure washer. Generally, the higher the CU, the more powerful and e󰀩cient the machine is. ● Read all warnings and instructions in this and all other manuals that came with the pressure washer. ● Remove all toys, bikes, lawn furniture, etc. from the work area if they should not be sprayed. ● Sweep any loose dirt and debris from the surface you will be pressure washing. ● Cover nearby plants to avoid damaging them with pressure washer spray. ● Lay tarps down to collect paint chips and other debris that get blown o󰀨 by spray. Exterior surfaces of houses built before 1977 may produce lead paint chips that will have to be collected and properly disposed of at a hazardous waste facility. ● Cover or avoid spraying windows as high-pressure spray can break them. ● A wider spray equals faster cleaning, while tighter spray equals deeper cleaning. ● Do not aim the nozzle straight at a surface. Hold the wand at a 45-degree angle to the surface at a distance that cleans well without causing damage. ● Keep the nozzle about 4-feet away from siding to prevent damage to surfaces. ● Start washing siding at the bottom and work your way up, then rinse from the top down. ● Avoid driving water up behind siding. ● Use overlapping strokes for even cleaning. ● Work in smaller areas and do not let soap dry on surfaces.Page 20 TROUBLE SHOOTING Pressure washer will not start or circuit breaker trips.
