Pressure Washer Rinsing
,_ WARNING! Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray can be very strong. The
high pressure spray could cause you to fall if
you are too close to the cleaning surface.
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
and rinse it clean as follows:
1. Apply safety latch to spray gun.
2. Remove black chemical spray tip from nozzle
extension.

following instructions in "How to Use Spray Tips".
4. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you
plan to spray.
5. Increase or decrease spray pressure by turning
pressure control knob counterclockwise or
clockwise respectively. Use lower pressure to
wash items such as a car or boat. Use higher
pressure to strip paint and degrease driveways.
