7. Apply HydroFoam
TM
wash or detergent solution to
a dry surface, starting at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even,
overlapping strokes.
NOTE: To prevent water spotting on vehicles, work in
a shaded area and allow surfaces to cool before
beginning.
8. Allow HydroFoam
TM
wash or detergent to soak in
between 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing.
Reapply as needed to prevent surface from
drying. DO NOT allow HydroFoam
TM
wash or
detergents to dry on (prevents streaking).
For best results, scrub the HydroFoam
TM
wash or
detergent covered surface to help remove stubborn dirt,
grime and stains. For vehicles, use a soft car wash
brush or mitt. For decking, siding and concrete, use a
brush appropriate for the type of surface being cleaned.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
After HydroFoam
TM
wash or detergent is applied, scour
the surface and rinse it clean as follows:
1.
,
Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
Remove HyrdoFoam
TM
Launcher from nozzle
extension.
3. Select and install desired ProjectPro
TM
nozzle, as
described in "How to Use ProjectPro
TM
Nozzle
System".
4. Keep spray gun a safe distance from spray
surface.
WARNING
• Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
• Operate this unit on a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively
unstable location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
5. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and
then check the surface for damage. If no damage,
proceed to step 6.
6. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes used for cleaning.
Rinse System After Every Use
It is imperative that the detergent dispensing system
be rinsed after each use to prevent clogging or leaks:
1. Fill System Rinse tank with clean water.
2. Before disconnecting water supply, start your
cleaning system.
3. Make sure HyrdoFoam
TM
launcher is installed.
4. Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner
TM
selector knob to position
corresponding to System Rinse tank. As clean rinse
water is drawn through the system, continue the flow
until no detergent foam is observed.
5. Rotate the Dial-A-Cleaner
TM
selector knob to
the OFF position when finished to prevent
detergent leakage.
How to Use the Hose Reel
Your cleaning system is equipped with a hose reel
designed to store the hose when unit is not in use.
See "Prepare Unit for Storage" for long term storage of
more than 30 days,
After each use:
1. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump.
2. Drain water from hose.
3. Slide one end of hose into hole on hose reel. Turn
hose reel with handle to coil hose onto reel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your cleaning system with
the hose coiled onto the hose reel. The hose reel is for
storage purposes only.
Tips
• NEVER use garden hose inlet to siphon detergent
or wax.
• If you hold the spray nozzle too far away from the
object being cleaned, washing will not be as
effective.
• Always store the cleaning system with the Dial-A-
Cleaner
TM
selector knob in the OFF position.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125°F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground,
