4.3 Low Pressure Operation with Brush

When cleaning surfaces with a grease contamination - typically car

paintwork that always has a greasy traffic film covering. Follow the

procedure of:
• Washing loose dirt away with the clean water high pressure spray.
• Apply the detergent in low pressure mode by removing the bayonet

fit spray lance and fitting the Washing Brush (No.7c) to the Spray

Gun.

• Leave for 2-4 minutes for the detergent to have maximum effect.
• With or without the pressure washer switched on, brush down the

surface being cleaned, this physical agitation removes all trace of

traffic film.

• Finally revert to the high pressure operation with the Spray Lance

and complete the wash down.

We recommend the following cleaning method:

Step 1:

Remove loose dirt by washing over the surface to be cleaned with the

high pressure jet.

Step 2:

Spray on the detergent and leave for 1-4 minutes, so assisting the easy

removal of fine dirt and associated greasy adhesions.

Step 3:

Finally, spray off the loosened dirt with the high pressure spray.

4.4  End Of Operation

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RINSE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

AFTER USING DETERGENT BY HANGING THE DETERGENT
SUCTION TUBE IN A CONTAINER WITH CLEAN WATER AND

RUN THE PUMP FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE IN LOW

PRESSURE SETTING.
