OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
14. OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers . Many detergents may require mixing prior to
use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
a. To clean:
Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
Install the black soap tip 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.
b. To rinse :
Using the 25• spray tip, spray away from the rinsing surface for approximate 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.
For the most effective cleaning , the spray tip should be between 8 in . and 24 in . from the surface to
be cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the surface.
15. MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
To move the pressure washer:
Turn the pressure washer off. Point the spray wand in a safe direction and pull trigger to release
water pressure.
Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels, then roll the machine to the desired
position .
