OPERATION TIPS
• Read all warnings and instructions in this and all other manuals that may have come
with the pressure washer.
• Remove all toys, bicycles, lawn furniture, etc. from the work area.
• Sweep any loose dirt and debris from the surface you will be pressure washing.
• Cover nearby plants to protect them from over spray and detergent.
• Only use the white, 40
o
nozzle when washing windows or painted items like
automobiles. Always start far away and move closer with care.
• If you are using the pressure washer to prepare siding for painting and the existing
paint my be from before 1977, lay down tarps to collect the paint chips. They may
contain lead and need to be disposed of at a proper disposal facility.
• Use only detergents or soaps that are approved for pressure washer use.
• A wider spray equals faster cleaning, while a tighter spray equals deeper cleaning.
• Do not aim the nozzle straight at a surface. Hold the wand at a 45
o
angle to the
surface at a distance that cleans well without causing damage.
• Keep the nozzle about four feet away from siding to prevent damage to the surface.
• Start washing at the bottom, move your way upward then rinse from the top down.
• Avoid driving water behind siding, trim and into window frames.
• When using soap, work on smaller areas and do not let the soap dry.
