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
®
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. Remove the cap(s) and detergent suction tube(s) from the
detergent bottle(s).
2. Gently pull each of the onboard detergent tanks out of its
storage position and fill each tank with detergent (Fig. 24).

3. Insert the suction tube(s) back into the tank(s) and cap the
tank(s) closed. Push the tank(s) back into storage position
on the unit.
4. Use the detergent dial to select which of the two detergent
tanks the unit will draw from and to control the rate of flow.
When not working with detergent, such as when using a
non-soap nozzle, turn the detergent dial to the center (O)
(Fig. 25).
5. Install the Soap nozzle (black) on the spray wand (Fig. 23).
m
CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous
area before use.
6. 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.
7. Turn the detergent dial to adjust the suction volume of the
detergent solution (Fig. 25).

8. 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.
9. 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 them. Wash and rinse a small
section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct
sunlight.
10. When you have finished using the detergent injection
system, remove the detergent suction tube from the
detergent bottle and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh water.
Siphon water at low pressure for one minute so that all
the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove the
detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.
m
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
will cause the injection system to become clogged and
inoperable.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
4. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle
while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
