4.0 Cleaning With and Applying Detergent
Reference the IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS section of this manual before operating.
IMPORTANT: Use detergents designed specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could damage pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
1. Prepare pressure washer detergent solution as required by manufacturer.
2. Place detergent siphon tube/filter into solution.
3. Make sure "SOAPER" nozzle (Black) is installed.
4. Apply cleaning solution to a dry surface, starting at lower portion of areas to be washed
and work upward, using long, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, DO NOT allow
detergent to dry on.
IMPORTANT: You must flush the injection system after each use by placing siphon hose
into a bucket of clean water, then run pressure washer in low pressure (Black nozzle) for
2 minutes.
- DO NOT use solvents or highly corrosive chemicals or acid type cleaners with this
pressure washer. NEVER spray toxic liquids or chemicals.
- ONLY use detergents approved for use with pressure washers. Read and follow the
instructions given by the detergent manufacturer.
- Keep all detergents out of reach of children and untrained adults. Proper safety
precautions must be taken before handling any chemicals.
- Read and follow all directions and instructions on the product label before using
detergents.
- Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when handling or using detergents.
- Always have a clean supply of water available to wash off any contact with the skin
or eyes. Should any detergent product contact the eyes, immediately flood the
eyes with clean water and seek medical attention at once. If skin contact occurs,
flood the affected area with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. If detergent is swallowed, follow the product label
directions and get immediate medical attentions.
- Read the material safety data sheets on all detergents before using.
- Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize the chances of the
detergent drying, which may result in damaging painted surfaces. Be certain to
rinse a small section at a time.
