PRESSURE WASHER RINSING
WARNING! Be extremely careful if you use the pressure washer from a
ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a
running washer builds as you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could cause you to fall. The high pressure spray could
also cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface.
FOR RINSING:
1. Remove the black detergent nozzle, and select the nozzles with high pressure following
instructions "How To Use Quick-Connect Nozzles" , squeeze the spray gun trigger and wait
for the detergent to clear.
WARNING Kickback from spray gun could cause you to fall resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid
injury when spray gun kicks back.
