WARNING!
ALWAYS TEST THE SPRAY JET ON A
SMALL INCONSPICUOUS AREA TO ENSURE THE
SETTINGS WON’T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE
SPRAYED SURFACE.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE PRESSURE WASHERS
WHILE WORKING ON LADDERS. THE RECOIL FROM
OPERATING THE SPRAY GUN COULD UNBALANCE
YOU AND THROW YOU OFF THE LADDER.
Usage Tips
Pressure washers are designed to remove dirt and grime.
They are not designed to strip paint or kill mildew from
surfaces.
1. Lay tarps around the house perimeter to protect plants from
debris and accidental spray.
2. Hold the spray jet at a 45°
angle and at a suitable
distance to the surface
being washed to prevent
gouging the surface. Do
not hold the spray jet
straight on to the surface
as this drives dirt in rather
than washing it off.
3. Work small areas at a
time and use overlapping
strokes to prevent streaks
.
WARNING!
WHEN CLEANING WALLS, DO NOT
SPRAY WINDOWS AS THE HIGH PRESSURE CAN
CRACK THEM.
4. Once finished with the machine, twist the on/off dial to the
off position, disconnect the power plug, shut the water
supply completely off and squeeze the spray gun trigger
several times to release any built up pressure and water in
the system.
WARNING!
DURING USE OF HIGH PRESSURE
CLEANERS, AEROSOLS MAY BE FORMED.
INHALATION OF AEROSOLS CAN BE HAZARDOUS
TO HEALTH.
