dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on
the surface.

CAUTION!
Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
7. When finished using the pressure washer, you must first
drain and rinse the detergent tank. Run the pressure
washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from
the detergent tank.

Failure to follow these cleaning
instructions will cause the injection system to become
clogged and inoperable.
