5.  Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry 

surface to be cleaned.

  NOTE:

 Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it 

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.

m

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.

m

CAUTION!

 Failure to follow these cleaning  

instructions will cause the injection system to become  

clogged and inoperable.

m

IMPORTANT! 

NEVER USE:

• 

Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals 

• 

Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oils)

• 

Tri-sodium phosphate products

• 

Ammonia products

• 

Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the 

cleaning surface.

• 

Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining 

water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.

• 

Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.

not reach freezing temperatures.

• 

Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that 

may dry out the pump seals.

anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before 

storing for the winter.

m

WARNING!

 

Before reusing, completely flush the unit 

 

out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage 

paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the 

system before using it again.
