Intro and advice on setup

Handle only folds one way comfortably. He just has the hose routed under instead of over, and the swivel pointed the wrong way.

I have it that way so it walks itself…not pushing against resistance all day. Just curious on what the pros are of switch it around and how ?

I believe you, just curious on how I guess

That’s your answer right there if you think about it. Newton’s 3rd law

If it works for you leave it be, or take 10 seconds to rotate it and then try it. It keeps the end near your feet down and thus less spray.

@Patriotspwashing if you dont mind me asking when you pick up trucks that cheap what kind of mileage do they have on them…around here trucks run a premium I’ve had my eye on a cutaway flatbed with a tunnel box they want $6900.00 but it’s got over 200000. Miles on it and that scares me a bit lol.

it would make a sweet rig though

The Isuzu’s a 2005, I bought it at an auction, it has 200k but is a diesel and has no issues so far.
I paid $3200 or somewhere close to that

The van is. 2004 and has 150k…no issues. I paid $3300.

I’m a marketplace and craigslist junkie…I looked for three months before I bought this last van and drove 12 hour round trip to get it.

My goal is to keep them in service for 2-3 years, sell and buy different ones.

Makes sense, definitely will try

@Patriotspwashing Awesome good finds…Im a marketplace junkie myself…and I like the idea of keeping them for a couple of years and getting new ones…I usually keep vehicles until their only worth about $500. My Dodge crewcab is a 02 and has 289000 miles that’s my work truck, I’ve had it 12 years or so…its got a new motor but no heat or ac… and I’m over it! Lol

I have the exact same surface cleaner and I use mine folded the opposite direction. Just trying to figure out if I’m doing something the hard way.

Yeah, that was probably my pic. I did tow with the 05, too. Both xB’s were stick shift, otherwise I would’ve been more nervous about towing. The 05 was pretty gutless, but it towed the lightweight 4x8 trailer without much trouble.

What’s the purpose for having an elbow to start with? I’ve always just had it running straight into the swivel.

If it’s 8gpm it makes it more controllable and doesn’t fly away as bad

Or get a bigger machine and then flying away no problem.
