Gardening Tools

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If using Cub Cadet All Purpose Cleaner or Degreaser, place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and apply detergent at low pressure. Allow Cub Cadet 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, wheelbarrows or other non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want to use the Cub Cadet Dirtblaster® Wand.

9Caution: Do not use Dirtblaster® wand on cloth, plastic or other sensitive surfaces as it may cause damage.

Patio & Lawn Furniture

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse furniture and surrounding area with fresh water. If using Cub Cadet All Purpose Cleaner, place detergent suction tube direct- ly into cleaning solution and apply to surface at low pressure. Allow Cub Cadet All Purpose Cleaner to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.

If needed, use special Wash Brush Attachment to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure in a sweeping motion keep- ing the spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inch- es from the cleaning surface. For best results, clean from top to bottom and from left to right. Caution: Do not use

Dirtblaster® wand on patio or lawn furni- ture as it may cause damage.

Recommendations

•Before cleaning any surface an inconspic- uous area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and distance for maximum clean- ing results.

•If painted surfaces are pealing or chipping, use extreme caution as pressure washer may remove the loose paint from the surface.
