5. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner
will dissolve dirt most eectively.
NOTE: Wetting the surface rst is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
mCAUTION! Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with the pressure washer. Do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
mCAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces
if the detergent is allowed to dry on them. Wash and rinse a
small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
1. Turn o the pressure washer and shut o the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 18).
4. Remove the detergent bottle with foam cannon by holding
the bottle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 23):
i) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) is an extremely powerful
nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-point jet
stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits in a small,
concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving stubborn
substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete,
or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this
nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including the
facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn
mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
ii) Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning
jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping
paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains,
and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in
areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this
nozzle.
iii) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home
siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or
sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area
rst to avoid surface damage.
iv) Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items
such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn
equipment.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way
down, making sure to overlap your strokes.
