dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.

6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. 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.

7. Rinse with clean water under high pressure. When working on a vertical surface, rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down to avoid streaking. Hold the nozzle 6-8 inches away from the work surface at a 45° angle.

8. When you have nished using the detergent injection

system, remove the detergent suction tube from the detergent tank and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh water. Siphon water at low pressure for one minute so that all

the detergent is ushed through the system. Remove the

detergent tank and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.

mCAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions

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.
