(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using Kärcher All Purpose Cleaner or Degreaser, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and apply detergent at low pressure. Allow Kärcher detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure keeping the spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning surface. For removing extremely stubborn dirt, it may be necessary to move the spray nozzle even closer to the surface for greater dirt cutting action. To remove caked on mud from garbage cans, lawn mower blades, wheel barrels or other non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want to use the Karcher Rotating Nozzle Spray Wand.

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray wand on cloth, plastic or other sensitive surfaces as it may cause damage.

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray wand on patio or lawn furniture as it may cause damage.
