Winterizing and LONG-TERM Storage

3:Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.

4:Store the machine and accessories in a room which does not reach freezing tempera- tures. DO NOT store near furnace or other sources of heat as it may dry out the pump seals.

CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

House Siding

For best results, limit your work area to smaller sections of approximately 25 square feet. Allow detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning surface. Always clean from top to bottom and from left to right. When moving on to a new section of the cleaning surface, be sure to overlap the previous section to eliminate stop marks and ensure a more even cleaning result.
