What type of connection does it use?
It uses a standard 3/8 male (14.8mm) Quick Release coupling to connect to your pressure washer hose or lance.

Can it be used on wood decking?
While it can clean wood, caution should be exercised. Use lower pressure settings if possible and maintain a consistent distance to avoid damaging the wood fibers. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the cleaning width of the SurfacePro 18?

Troubleshooting
Unit does not spin or spins slowly
Check that the pressure washer is delivering adequate flow rate (1000 L/Hr min) and pressure (4000 psi max). Ensure nozzles are not blocked. Verify the connection to the pressure washer is secure and not leaking.
Poor cleaning performance or streaking
Confirm the unit is being held at a consistent height above the surface. Check for nozzle blockages. Ensure the pressure washer is operating at optimal pressure and flow rate. Clean the anti-splash ring if it is obstructed.
Excessive water splashing
Inspect the "Mink Flex System" anti-splash ring for damage or debris. Ensure it is properly seated and making good contact with the surface being cleaned. Reduce pressure if necessary for less demanding tasks.
Leaking connection
Ensure the 3/8 male Quick Release coupling is properly seated and locked into the pressure washer lance. Check the O-rings or seals for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
