DEGREASING WITH THE POWER SPRAYER WAND

The Power Sprayer Wand works best using Sears specially formulated concentrated degreaser, which can be purchased in the Sears lawn and garden department. Follow the directions supplied with the degreaser for the proper mix ratio.

Most common household degreasers, are not formulated and concentrated for use in your Power Sprayer Wand. They are too heavy or thick to pass through your Power Sprayer Wand and if they are diluted with water, they lose their degreasing efficiency.

NOTE: If you do not use Sears degreaser, 9-16423, be sure the degreaser you do use is specially formulated and concentrated for use with this type of equipment. Mix the chosen degreaser with water (1 part degreaser to 4 parts water) to reduce the viscosity (consistency or thickness) of the mixture.

Do not clean a hot engine. Engine

block can crack or other damage can occur. Wait until the engine has cooled at least one hour. Cover the battery and carburetor throat when you clean the engine.

1.Prepare a mixture of degreaser in a 1-gallon plastic bucket or suitable container.

2.Attach the garden hose (cold or warm water), air hose, and chemical draw hose to the Power Sprayer Wand. Place the free end of the chemical draw hose into the degreaser/water mixture.

3.For best degreasing performance, set your air com- pressor to the maximum pressure available from your air compressor not to exceed 125 psig. Be sure the air and water controls on the Power Sprayer Wand are in the "Off" position.

4.Turn on your air compressor.

5.Begin the degreasing procedure by adjusting the air control knob and the soap/chemical control knob until they begin spraying the solution. The water knob should be "Off". Continue spraying until the surface is completely covered with the solution.

6.To stop spraying, turn the soap/chemical control knob and the air control knob to the "Off" position.

7.Let the degreaser solution remain on the surface for about 30 seconds. A certain amount of wiping will be required for most types of foreign matter.

8.Fully open both air and water control knobs.

9.Rinse the degreaser solution and dirt from the surface you are degreasing.

10.When rinsing or washing surfaces with an air/water mixture, the Power Sprayer Wand will pulsate under certain conditions. This is normal, especially at high air/water pressures. The pulsations indicate the air and water are mixing effectively and should improve the cleaning action of the spray.
