Operations

Detergents And General Cleaning 
Techniques

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place 
detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution 
and apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, 
limit your work area to sections approximately 6 feet 
square and always apply detergent from bottom to top). 
Allow detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do 
not allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface 
appears to be drying, simply wet down surface with 
fresh water. If needed, use brush to remove stubborn 
dirt. Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom in an 
even sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle 
approximately 1 foot from cleaning surface. Use over-
lapping strokes as you clean and rinse any surface. For 
best surface cleaning action spray at a slight angle.

Recommendations

Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous 
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern 
and distance for maximum cleaning results.

If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use 
extreme caution as pressure washer may 
remove the loose paint from the surface.

Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the  
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash 
a small area, then check the surface for 
damage. If no damage is found, continue to 
pressure washing.

    

   CAUTION - Never use:

Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive 
chemicals

Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners, 
gasoline, oils)

Tri-sodium phosphate products

Ammonia or Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the machine and will 
damage the surface being cleaned.

ATTENTION - Ne jamais utiliser :

Eau de Javel, produits à base de chlore et 
autres produits chimiques corrosifs

Liquides contenant des solvants (c.-à-d. diluant 
à peinture, essence, huiles, etc.)

Produits à base de tripolyphosphate de sodium

Ammoniac ou produits à base d'acide

Ces produits chimiques endommageront la machine et 
endommageront la surface étant nettoyée.

Rinsing

It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear. 
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Select and install 
desired high pressure nozzle. 

NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by 
removing detergent siphon tube from bottle.
