Zebra Striping

I am not sure if this is something I am doing wrong or if surface cleaner is clogged on one end.

I broke down the arms and nozzles and they where clear. Appears both nozzle heads are spraying equally on both sides when turned on side. I put the arms and nozzles back on and I eyeballed the angle of nozzles. I am guessing at this point but put them at about 20 degrees from flat surface.

The striping comes into play when I am walking behind in strait line and then pulling back like mowing a lawn and overlapping a few inches. The overlap is where the stripes are. I have tried using it like a vacuum - push pull - and still got same results.

Is this either the wrong way to use a surface cleaner or is the degree of one of the nozzles off?

This is an Alto Simpson 24" hover style.

Any help is appreciated
 
Robert,
This happens to me sometimes also. Usally lat in the job when I get moving to fast or without soap. I just slow down some and it does the job. What psi and gpm are you using and do you have hot water?
 
Lenny,

4000psi /4gpm - cold water only at this time.

Got any idea what degree tips should be at to get fast enough rotation but still clean?
 
I had this problem with my Whirlaway I adjusted the centre bearing to its highest ajustment and fitted jets which sprayed at a wider V this solved the problem Hope this helps you MATE
