1. CLEANING METHOD
•
1st step:
Spray on the detergent and allow it to work in.
•
2nd step:
Wash off loosened dirt using high-pressure jet.
Tip:
Clean facades, terraces and garden equipment with the
high-pressure jet alone, without detergent.
Recommended cleaning procedure:
- For best results, the high-pressure lance should be held
between 6" - 24" away from the surface being cleaned.
Holding the wand too close to the surface may damage
the object being cleaned. On the other hand, if the lance
is too far away, optimum cleaning results will not be
achieved. it´s always best to test the surface first to see
if damage occurs when the lance is held too close.
- When cleaning car tires, the nozzle should be held at least
6" from the surface to avoid damage.
- Apply detergent at low pressure from the bottom up and
pressure wash at high pressure from the top down.
- Always apply detergent to a dry surface and allow 1-3
minutes dwell time.
- To be environmentally safe, cleaning engines is only
recommended where a suitable oil seperator is provided.
Caution:
The unit should never be run indoors as the exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Accessories, special accessories and cleaning
agents can be obtained from your dealer.
