WARNING!
Do not make changes to the nozzle while
the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the
pressure washer or injury to the user.
Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with
detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed for
use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
(SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
®
(SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material,
or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the
pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior
to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the
solution bottle.
1. Gently pull the foam cannon bottle out of its storage
position (Fig. 17).

2. Remove the cap. Fill the bottle or mix as recommended by
detergent instructions (Fig. 18), and replace it back on the
unit. Secure the cap back into place.

4. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the
unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water
and be discharged through the nozzle.
NOTE: The spray angle can be adjusted from 0° to 45° by
rotating the foam cannon nozzle. The foam volume can be
adjusted by rotating the adjustable cap, as indicated below
(Fig. 20).

WARNING!
Do not adjust the foam cannon while the
trigger is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
m
CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous
area before use.
5. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the
surface.
m
CAUTION!
Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
