dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
7. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. 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 the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
8. Rinse with clean water under high pressure. When working
on a vertical surface, rinse from the bottom up, then rinse
from the top down to avoid streaking. Hold the nozzle 6-8
inches away from the work surface at a 45° angle.
9. When you have nished using the detergent injection
system, remove the detergent suction tube from the
detergent tank and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh water.
Siphon water for one minute so that all the detergent is
ushed through the system. Remove the detergent tank
and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.
mCAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
will cause the injection system to become clogged and
inoperable.
