turbo laNCe (Not INCluDeD WItH
all MoDelS)
A turbo lance is equipped with a
permanently attached nozzle. This
nozzle, sometimes referred to as a
rotary nozzle, can significantly reduce
cleaning time. The turbo nozzle
combines the power of a narrow high
impact stream with the efficiency of a
25 degree fan pattern. The turbo nozzle
swirls a narrow high impact stream into
a cone shape to clean a larger area.
since a turbo
nozzle uses a
narrow high impact stream, only use a
turbo lance in applications where the
cleaning surface cannot be damaged
by narrow high impact spray. The turbo
nozzle is noT adjustable and cannot be
used to apply detergent.

DeterGeNtS
The use of detergents can dramatically
reduce cleaning time and assist in
the removal of difficult stains. Many
detergents are customized for pressure
washer use on specific cleaning tasks.
Pressure washer detergents are as thick
as water. Using thicker detergents
– like dish soap – will clog the chemical
injection system and prevent the
application of the detergent.
Once applied to a cleaning surface,
detergents take time to break down dirt
Low Pressure
Figure 15 - adjusting nozzle for pressure
and grime. Detergents work best when
applied at low pressure.
You can effectively clean surfaces by
combining the chemical action of
detergents with high pressure rinses. On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent
starting at the bottom and work your
way upward. This method prevents
the detergent from sliding down and
causing streaks. Begin high pressure
rinsing at the bottom and work your
way upward. On particularly tough
stains, use a brush in combination with
detergents and high pressure rinsing.

1. Apply the detergent so that it
thoroughly covers the cleaning
surface. Apply the detergent from
bottom to top to prevent the
detergent from sliding down and
streaking. Wait a couple of minutes
for the detergent to break down
the dirt and grime. Use a brush to
lightly scrub heavily soiled areas.
Never allow the detergent to dry on
