WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or
ingested, causing severe
nausea, fainting or poisoning.
The harmful elements may
cause property damage or
severe injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: Certains
détergents peuvent être
dangereux s'ils sont inhalés ou
ingérés, provoquant de fortes
nausées, des évanouissements et l'empoisonnement.
Les éléments dangereux peuvent causer des
dommages à la propriété ou des blessures graves.
STEP 1:
Connect detergent injector to discharge nipple on
machine.
Connect high pressure hose to injector with quick coupler.
(Check to make sure locking coupler sleeves are in proper
position before applying water pressure).
STEP 2:
Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare
detergent solution as required by
the manufacturer. Fill a container
with pressure washer detergent.
Place the filter end of detergent
suction tube into the detergent
container.
STEP 3:
With safety latch on
spray gun engaged, secure black
detergent nozzle into quick
coupler.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be
applied using red, yellow, green
or white nozzles.
STEP 4:
With the engine running, pull trigger to operate
machine. Liquid detergent is drawn into the machine and
mixed with water. Apply detergent to work area. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface.
IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent injection
system after each use by placing the suction tube into
a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure washer
in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
IMPORTANT: The instructions on this page pertain to
the pressure washer used in connection with model
HS-3000.
Cleaning Tips
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 overlapping 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 and other corrosive chemicals
•
Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners,
gasoline, oils)
•
Tri-sodium phosphate products
•
Ammonia products or acid-based products
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
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage the surface being cleaned.
