RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

page 9).

°Slide adjustable nozzle sleeve backward to high pres- sure 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 pattern 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

removing siphon from bottle.

For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using tong, even overlap- ping strokes.

WARNING: Be extremely careful if you must use pressure washer from ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable 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 pres- sure could force you off climbing apparatus.

Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun for about 3 seconds to relieve pressure. Spray stream will noticeably decrease in length.

If you are not going td use the unit for tong periods of time close the fuel shut-off valve.
