Operation
31
secure the spray gun open by blocking or tying the spray gun in the open
position.

Prevent slips / loss of balance . High-pressure spray could cause you to lose
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
toward the top.
5. Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide path. Overlap spray
paths for complete coverage.
