proceeding to step 3.
2. Select pressure nozzle with spray pattern that match-
es your cleaning needs. Engage manual trigger lock
and install selected nozzle.

4. Do not wash at a 90° angle to the work (straight at
it). This will allow water to splash back at you and
reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30° to 60°
angle to the work. This will allow the water to splash
away from you and the water will wash the dirt away
faster and easier.
5. Use the width of the spray pattern to wash in a wide
path. Overlap spray paths for complete coverage.
Wash from side to side, using slow, steady motions.
6. The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from work, closer
for tough areas. Be careful on painted or delicate
surfaces, the pressure may damage surface if nozzle
is too close.
7. Small parts should be washed in a basket and larger,
lightweight parts should be clamped down so the
pressure does not push them away.
8. Close the detergent ON/OFF valve to permit rinse.
Always rinse with cold water after using detergents.
Rinse from the top to the bottom to prevent detergent
from dripping onto a rinsed area. For the best results,
contact your Hotsy dealer to help you select the best
detergent for your application.
