Do not release the trigger between sweeps. Release the trigger as few times

as possible during use. Interrupted or sporadic spraying will cause the unit to

heat up quickly and will increase the need for rest periods.

Make sure that all obstacles have been moved and the entire area is ready

before starting.

For small jobs, try to finish an entire portion of the job before taking a break.

Clean an inconspicuous test area to help avoid damaging the surface: Always begin

with the fan spray at a distance of about 3-5 feet from the surface being cleaned to

avoid damaging the surface of the object. Make sure that the test area is clear of

people and water prone/delicate objects. If a pressure washing detergent is to be

used, apply the detergent to this area as well. After cleaning this area, switch off the

pressure washer and inspect the area carefully for any damage or discoloration. If

any damage is noted from the pressure setting, use a lighter setting when cleaning

the rest of the area. If damage or discoloration is noted from the detergent, do not

use it when cleaning.

First, pass over the area with a light cleaning, and then more thoroughly clean it.

for a vertical or sloped surface:

3a.

Wash from the top down.

If possible, direct the stream in the same direction as the slope towards a drain-

ing area. This will enable better drainage and therefore better cleaning.

3b.

for a flat surface:

If a thin layer of water accumulates on the surface, periodically use the stream

to direct this water towards the drainage.

After the major cleaning is done, sweep the surface with the stream to help direct

loose debris toward the drainage.

If detergent is to be applied: Only use pressure washing detergent; other detergents

will clog or damage the pressure washer. Apply the detergent at low pressure, by

either using the Brush Wand (28c) or the low pressure setting of the Spray Wand

(31c). Allow the detergent several minutes to sit and soak into the work surface;

this will improve cleaning efficiency. If the Spray Wand is used, briefly shut off the

unit and pull the adjustable nozzle in to switch to high pressure mode and automati-

cally shut off the soap dispenser for rinsing. Make certain to rinse off all detergent

completely.

Hold the Wash Gun at about a 45° angle and steadily sweep the stream back

and forth; if a severe, head-on angle is used, dirt may imbed in the surface being

cleaned. Follow a steady, consistent pace during cleaning; this will help prevent

stripes or discoloration afterwards. If streaking or uneven cleaning is noted at the

end of a project, go over the edges of the streaks with a wide fan pattern to help

blend these lighter areas in.
