How to use Marflo tornador

By Brillia-Lulu June 22nd, 2024
The Marflo Tornador is a powerful cleaning tool used primarily for automotive detailing. It uses a combination of air pressure and cleaning solution to clean hard-to-reach areas and surfaces quickly and effectively. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to use a Marflo Tornador:

### Equipment Needed
- Marflo Tornador
- Air compressor (with appropriate pressure settings, usually 60-90 PSI)
- Cleaning solution (diluted according to manufacturer instructions)
- Safety equipment (gloves, goggles)

### Steps to Use the Marflo Tornador

1. **Preparation**
   - **Fill the Tornador's Reservoir**: Pour the appropriate cleaning solution into the Tornador's reservoir. Make sure the solution is diluted correctly as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
   - **Connect to Air Compressor**: Attach the Tornador to your air compressor. Ensure the compressor is set to the correct PSI (typically 60-90 PSI for most Tornador models).

2. **Setup**
   - **Adjust the Tornador**: Some models have an adjustment knob to control the amount of liquid released. Set this according to the level of cleaning required.
   - **Safety Gear**: Put on your gloves and goggles to protect yourself from splashes and debris.

3. **Using the Tornador**
   - **Start the Tornador**: Hold the Tornador firmly and pull the trigger to start the flow of air and cleaning solution.
   - **Clean the Surface**: Direct the nozzle at the area you wish to clean. Move the nozzle in a sweeping motion to cover the entire surface. The Tornador’s unique design will create a vortex, effectively cleaning dirt and grime from the surface.
   - **Distance from Surface**: Keep the nozzle a few inches away from the surface to avoid any potential damage and to allow the cleaning solution to work effectively.

4. **Rinsing (if necessary)**
   - **Switch to Air Only**: Some Tornador models allow you to switch to air-only mode. Use this setting to blow away excess solution and dry the area.
   - **Wipe Down**: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the cleaned area, ensuring all the cleaning solution and loosened dirt are removed.

5. **Final Steps**
   - **Inspect the Area**: Check the cleaned area to ensure all dirt and grime have been removed. Repeat the process if necessary.
   - **Empty and Clean the Tornador**: After use, empty any remaining solution and rinse the Tornador’s reservoir. Run clean water through the Tornador to flush out any residue.

### Tips for Optimal Use
- **Proper Dilution**: Always dilute your cleaning solution according to the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damage to surfaces.
- **Consistent Motion**: Use a consistent sweeping motion to cover the entire surface evenly.
- **Regular Maintenance**: Clean your Tornador regularly to ensure it remains effective and prolong its lifespan.

By following these steps and tips, you can effectively use your Marflo Tornador to achieve professional-level cleaning results on various surfaces, especially in automotive detailing.
