APPLYING DETERGENT WITH ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: USE SOAPS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
FOR PRESSURE WASHERS. HOUSEHOLD DETER- GENTS COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP,
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST ATTACH ALL HOSES BE- FORE YOU START THE ENGINE STARTING THE EN-
GINE WITHOUT ALL THE HOSES CONNECTED WILL DAMAGE THE PUMP_
Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed to clean almost any surface in two easy steps,
oThe first step involves applying an appropriate deter- gent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to avoid splashing, overspraying and waste_ Leave the solution on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to work
=The second step involves cleaning the surface you have prepared with the pressure washer and then rinsing it clean.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
oPrepare your detergent solution as required by your job.
oPlace small filter of the clear, detergent siphoning tube into the detergent container (Fig. 15).

PRESSURE WASHING/RINSING
WARNING: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IF YOU
MUST USE PRESSURE WASHER FROM LADDER,
SCAFFOLDING OR ANY OTHER RELATIVELY UN- STABLE LOCATION. 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 CLIMBING APPARATUS.
WATER SUPPLY
FIG. 17
o Hook up water supply (Fig, 17).
oAdjust nozzle to select high pressure mode.
NOTE: Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure mode.
•Start washer and work from the top of the surface to the bottom
NOTE: The high pressure mode is most effective when the
tip of the wand is held between 6 inches to two feet from the surface being cleaned,
HOW TO USE OPTIONAL TURBO NOZZLE
°The optional rotating turbo nozzle, in essence, expands the area of the high pressure stream.
oYou cannot adjust the spray pattern with this nozzle.
=You cannot apply detergent with this nozzle.
