solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
To clean:
 Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
 Install the soap nozzle on the spray wand.
 Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on
a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To
prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the
surface.
To rinse:
 Using the 25˚ nozzle, spray away from the rinsing surface
for approximately 10 seconds to allow any remaining
detergent to be flushed from the line.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
