Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job.

Hang the detergent solution on the "J" hook on the wire form on the guide handle.

Place small filter of the clear, chemical injection tube into the detergent container.

Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high pressure position.

Review the use of the adjustable nozzle on Page 7.

Connect garden hose to water inlet (see "TO START PRESSURE WASHER" on page 10), check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump (see "ASSEMBLY" on page 5), and start engine..

Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the bot- tom and working up.

Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing.

Note: To adjust the concentration of the mixture of cleaning chemical and water, turn the smaller black knob next to the pressure regulator.

RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

A WARNING Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from ladder, scaf- folding or any other relatively unstable loca- tion. Pressure in a running washer builds in the wand as you climb. When you press the

trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if you are too close to the

cleaning surface, high pressure could force you off a climbing apparatus.

Hook up the water supply and start your pressure washer (see "TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER" on page 10).

Slide adjustable nozzle rearward to high pressure

position and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure mode.

When detergent has cleared you may want to expand the spray pattem for a more gentle rinsing action. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same action as for cleaning,

You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply removingsiphonfrom bottle.
