Use and Care Manual

mCAUTION! Always test detergent in an inconspicuous
area before use.
• Turn on the pressure washer. Pull trigger to operate unit.
The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water and
discharge through the nozzle. Apply detergent from the
bottom to the top of the DRY surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface rst is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
• Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with the pressure washer. Do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
mCAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
• Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a vertical
surface, rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top
down to avoid streaking. Hold nozzle 6-8 inches away from
the work surface at a 45° angle.
• When you have nished using the detergent injection
system, remove the detergent suction tube from the
detergent bottle and insert it into 5 L (1 gallon) of fresh
water. Siphon water at low-pressure for one minute so that
all the detergent is ushed through the system. Remove the
detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.
mCAUTION! Failure to clean properly will cause the
injection system to become clogged and inoperable.
mIMPORTANT! NEVER USE:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive chemicals.
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils).
• Tri-sodium phosphate products.
• Ammonia products.
• Acid-based products.
• These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
cleaning surface.
