OPERATION INSTRUCTION
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER (See Figure 15)
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers. Many detergents may require mixing prior to
use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
a. To clean:
• Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
• Install the black soap tip on the spray wand.
• Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
b. To rinse:
• Using the 25° spray tip, spray away from the rinsing surface for approximate 10 seconds to
allow any remaining detergent to be ushed from the line.
• Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, overlapping the strokes.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray tip should be between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface
to be cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the surface.
