GENERAL
WASHING TECHNIQUES
Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the sur-
face being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get under the
material and lift it off.
When washing large objects, use optional detergent in-
jector to apply detergent. Start washing from the bottom
and work up. Better detergent economy and faster re-
sults will be obtained by allowing the detergent to set 5-
10 minutes. After washing, rinse from the top down.
