RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
A
WARNING
Be extremely careful if you
must use the pressure washer from ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. Pressure in a running washer
builds in the wand as you climb. When you
press the trigger, the recoil from the initial
spray could force you to fall, or if you are
too close to the cleaning surface, high
pressure could force you off a climbing
apparatus.
Slide nozzle sleeve rearward to high pressure mode and
wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow when in
the high pressure mode,
When detergent has cleared you may want to use the fan
spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action. Start at top of
area to be rinsed, working down with same action as for
cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply remov-
ing siphon from bottle.
Note: The high pressure mode is most effective when the tip of
the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being
cleaned.
