OPERATION
OPERATING TIPS
l It is normal to hear the motor run intermittently when the
trigger is not being squeezed. The pump is priming itself
to operate when the trigger is squeezed again.
l To avoid damaging surfaces:
•
Always use an appropriate nozzle
•
Reduce water pressure by adjusting the angle of
the stream or by increasing the distance from the
nozzle to the surface.
l Always spray detergent on a dry surface. Do not pre-
soak surface. Wetting the surface first dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
