LEANiNG WiTH DETERGENTS (OPTiON AW-8400-0021):

.  Refer  to  “Detergent  Cleaning  Precautions”  pg.  6  before  working  with 

detergents.  Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 

0.

2.  Prepare detergent solution according to label directions.  Never pump 

acids, alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. 

3.  Some units are equipped with adjustable detergent knobs.  Locate the 

clear vinyl hose which leads to the pump head. 
a.  If your injector is not equipped with an adjustment knob, the detergent 

ratio is preset and cannot be adjusted.

b.  If your injector is equipped with an adjustment knob on the pump 

head, you may adjust the amount of detergent desired by turning 
the knob completely counterclockwise to set at the maximum siphon 
rate. 

4.  Immerse  the  detergent  strainer  into  the  detergent  solution  to  allow 

detergent to siphon.  

5.  with the trigger gun locked in the “OFF” position, securely quick-connect 

the detergent spray nozzle (#6540° BLAcK) into the end of the wand.

NOTE: 

This  injection  system  is  designed  to  apply  detergents  under 
low  pressure  only.    It  will  not  allow  detergent  solutions  to  be 
introduced into the  system unless the nozzle assembly is in the 
low pressure detergent mode.

6.  To apply solution;  unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger.  In a 

few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure nozzle.  
Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move 
up, using long overlapping strokes.  Applying from the bottom up helps 

avoid streaking.  Allow to soak briefly.  DO NOT allow detergent solution 

to dry on the surface.  (Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight 
to  minimize  the  chances  of  the  detergent  drying,  which  may  result  in 

damaging painted surfaces.)  Be certain to rinse a small section at a 

time.

7.  To rinse;  lock the trigger gun in the “OFF” position, securely quick-connect 

the desired high pressure nozzle into the end of the wand.  Unlock the 
trigger gun and spray.  It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent 
from the line.  For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down.

8.  Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection 

system  after  each  use.    This  prevents  the  possibility  of  corrosion  or 
detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.

   quicK connect detergent

sHutdown:

.  Turn engine “OFF” as directed in the Engine Manual.

2.  Turn the water supply “OFF”.

3.  Pointing the gun in a safe direction, trigger gun momentarily to relieve 

any trapped pressure.  

4.  Once pressure is relieved, disconnect the nozzle assembly.

5.  Disconnect and drain gun, wand and hoses.  

6.  wipe  unit  clean  and  store  with  gun,  wand  and  hoses  in  a  safe,  non-

freezing area.
