Operation
29
balance from kickback forces, and wet surfaces can be slippery.
-
Keep good footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach.
-
Do not stand on unstable support when spraying.
-
If spraying from an elevated surface, use fall protection because spray gun
kickback can propel you off the elevated surface. When spraying from a
ladder or scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored from sway or tip-over.
-
Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces. Ensure there is adequate
drainage to prevent pooling of water.
Prevent surface damage & flying debris
– Surfaces being sprayed must be
strong enough to withstand high-pressure spray or damage may result. In addition,
high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects as well as surface chips and
debris, resulting in hazardous flying objects that can cause personal injury or
property damage. Do not spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile, or unsecured
objects such as:
o
stucco or laminar flagstone
o
some painted surfaces
o
windows or glass doors (because they may break)
o
light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes
o
unsecured, lightweight objects
Procedure:
1.
Put on one of the high-pressure spray nozzles (always relieve system pressure
first and follow instructions for attaching a nozzle).
2.
Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep children and pets away.
3.
Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a sturdy stance -- Gun kicks
back when triggered.
CAUTION
:
Spray gun metal gets extremely hot when using the
burner and can burn you on contact. Never touch the metal screw or
any metal parts of the spray gun when the heater is being used. Use
only designated grip areas.
4.
Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-to-side motions. This washes
away heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work towards the
top.
5.
Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide path. Overlap spray paths
for complete coverage.
6.
The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from the work, closer for tough areas.
7.
Small parts should be washed in a basket so the pressure does not push them
away. Larger, lightweight parts should be clamped down.
8.
The pressure washer is set and locked to the maximum rated pressure when it
leaves the factory. To reduce the pressure, turn the unloader knob
counterclockwise. (See Figure 11 on next page)
