5.4.1.
When using detergent, always use the black detergent nozzle.
5.4.2.
When applying detergents, always operate the unit at a low water pressure throttle (fig.9) (set to SLOW position).This provides a
gentle application of the detergent, with the water pressure equivalent to a garden hose. Always test the detergent in a concealed area
before use.
5.4.3.
Pour two types of detergents into separate detergent tanks (fig.1). It is recommended to have one detergent tank filled with all-purpose
detergent, and the other filled with a more specific cleaning detergent, depending on the surface to be cleaned.
