Cleaning Tips

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place
detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution
and apply to surface at low pressure (for best results,
limit your work area to sections approximately 6 feet
square and always apply detergent from bottom to top).
Allow detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do
not allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface
appears to be drying, simply wet down surface with
fresh water. If needed, use brush to remove stubborn
dirt. Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom in an
even sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 1 foot from cleaning surface. Use over-
lapping strokes as you clean and rinse any surface. For
best surface cleaning action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern
and distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use
extreme caution as pressure washer may
remove the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash
a small area, then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, continue to
pressure washing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinner,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage the surface being cleaned.
ATTENTION : Ne jamais utiliser :
• Eau de Javel, produits à base de chlore et
autres produits chimiques corrosifs
• Liquides contenant des solvants (c.-à-d. diluant
à peinture, essence, huiles, etc.)
• Produits à base de tripolyphosphate de sodium
• Ammoniac ou produits à base d'acide
Ces produits chimiques endommageront la machine et
endommageront la surface étant nettoyée.
