WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 14 - 15.
As sold, this unit is designed for use with "downstream" pres-
sure washer detergents. To convert for use with "upstream"
detergents, contact an authorized customer service center
for more information.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
Always test in an inconspicuous area before beginning.
Remove the cap from the detergent tank and pour pres-
sure washer detergent in the tank. Replace cap on tank.
NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which usu-
ally allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer detergent
without further dilution. Check your detergent instructions
to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
Install the blue soap nozzle on the spray wand.
Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds for
the detergent to appear.
Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
Fill the detergent tank with clean water.
Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the
tank is empty.
If any soap remains in the spray, repeat with a second
tank of clean water.
Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve pressure
in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
