Usage tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 200 - 600 mm away from
cleaning surface.
• If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure nozzles, you
may damage surface being cleaned.
• Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, and then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
• When using detergents, apply to a dry surface starting at the lower potion of
area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.
• Allow detergents to soak in for 3 - 5 minutes before washing and rinsing.
Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying. To prevent streaking, do not
allow detergent to dry on the surface.
• Wetting the surface before applying detergent is not recommended as it dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
• To rinse detergents, replace the nozzle with an appropriate high pressure nozzle
(3) (see
Spray nozzle selection)
. Squeeze the trigger and wait for the detergent
to clear. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down the same
overlapping strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.
• Never use the pressure washer water inlet to siphon detergents.
