DEGREASING WITH THE POWER WASHER
The Power Washer works best using Sears specially _rmulated concentrateddegrease_,9.16421, which can be purchased in the Sears hardware department or from the Sears general cata!og. Follow the directions supplied with the degreaser for the proper watertdegreaser mix ratio.
Most common householddegreasers, are not formu_atecl and concentrated for use in your Power Washer. They are too heavy or thick to pass through your Power Washer and if they are dilutedwith water, they lose their degreasing efficiency,
NOTE: If you do not use Sears
and concentrated for use with this type of equipment,
Mix the chosendegreaser with water (1 part degreaser to 4 parts water) to reduce the viscosity (consistency or thickness) of the mixture.
