WARNING: Be extremely careful if you must
use the cleaning system from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. 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, the
high pressure spray could force you off a
climbing apparatus.
Start at lower portion of area to be washed and
work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.
Allow detergent to 'soak in’ (between 3-5 minutes)
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying.

Furniture Deck
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
with the high pressure water stream and then rinse it
clean, as follows:
• Close the chemical valve handle fully on the dual
lance by turning it clockwise to place the cleaning
system in high pressure mode. Chemical will not
flow when in the high pressure mode. -
• Select and install the desired nozzle following the
instructions on’How to Use the Nozzles’ on page 6.
• Adjust Pressure Command™ control to obtain
desired water pressure.
• 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.
CAUTION: Test a small area of the surface to
be cleaned. Make sure there is no damage
caused by the high pressure spray.
RINSE SYSTEM AFTER EVERY USE
It is imperative that the chemical selector system be
rinsed after each use to prevent clogging or leaks:
