SIPHONING
We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water sup- plyoConnect only to household water supply.
TIPS
=Initially clean an area and then check the surface for damage, if no damage is found, you can assume it is okay to continue cleaning Detergents work best when applied to dry surface,
,,For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle be- tween 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface.
oAllow the detergent to soak in between
=For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.
=For rinsing, push the nozzle sleeve to high pressure and wait for detergent to clear. Start at the top of area to be rinsed, working down with the same action as for cleaning..
o Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or
wax,
°If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning surface_
°if you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning will not be as effective.
,_ Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automo - bite tires.
