CAUTION

Before cleaning any surface an in-
conspicuous 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.

When using on surfaces which might 
come in contact with food, flush sur-
faces with plenty of drinking water.
