APPLYING DETERGENT WITH ADJUSTABLE
NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: USE SOAPS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
FOR PRESSURE WASHERS. HOUSEHOLD DETER^
GENTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.

Pressure washers are useful cleariing tools designed to
clean almost any surface in two easy steps.
o The first step involves applying an appropriate deter-
Ì enVsolvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime.
he 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:
® Prepare your detergent
solution as required by
your job,
® Place small filter of the
clear, detergent syphon­
ing tube into the deter­
gent container (Fig. 10),
o Set nozzle to low pres­
sure mode. Detergent
cannot be siphoned with
nozzle in high pressure
mode (see Fig. 9). FIG. 10
o start washer and apply detergent to a dry surface,
starting from the bottom and working up.
® Remove siphon from bottle to stop detergent in low
pressure mode.
NOTE: Detergents are most effective applied to a dry surface.
HOW TO USE UTILITY BRUSH
o You can apply detergent with this nozzle. As you are
applying detergent to surface you want to clean, you
can also combine the liquid spray with scrubbing to

A
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 TTllGGER, 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.

e Adjust nozzle to select high pressure mode (see Fig 9).
NOTE: Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure
mode.
o Start washer and work from the top of the surface to
the bottom.

tip of the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the
surface being cleaned.
