OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS (OPTIONAL FEATURE):
The Detergent Injection feature is an optional feature on this machine. If you
wish to add this feature to your unit, order Mi-T-M part
#AW-8300-0000. Connect the Detergent Injector to the unit as directed in
the Detergent Injector Manual.
1. Refer to "Risk of Bodily Injury," pg. 7, and the Detergent Injector Manual
which accompanies part #AW-8300-0000. Be certain to wear protective
safety attire as stated on pg. 10.
2. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump acids,
alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the unknown
and often corrosive characteristics of many detergents commonly used in
the pressure washer cleaning industry, it is recommended to use only Mi-
T-M detergents with this unit.
3. Adjust the amount of detergent desired by locating the adjustment knob
at the end of the clear vinyl hose near at the Detergent Injector. Turn the
knob completely counterclockwise to set at the maximum siphon rate.
4. Immerse the strainer into the detergent solution to allow detergent to siphon.
5. With the trigger gun locked in the OFF position, securely quick-connect
the detergent spray nozzle (#6540° BLACK) into the end of the lance.
NOTE: This injection system is designed to apply detergents under low pressure only.
It will not allow detergent solutions to be introduced into the system unless the
detergent nozzle is installed in the lance.
6. To apply solution, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a
few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure nozzle.
Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up,
using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid
streaking. Allow to soak briefly. (Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct
sunlight to minimize the chances of the detergent drying, which may result
in damaging painted surfaces.) Be certain to apply cleaning solution to a
small section at a time.
7. To rinse: lock the trigger gun in the OFF position, securely quick-connect
the 40° nozzle into the end of the lance. Unlock the trigger gun and spray.
It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best
rinsing results, start at the top and work down.
8. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection system
after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent
residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.
SHUTDOWN:
1. Turn engine "OFF" as directed in the Engine Manual.
2. Turn the water supply "OFF".
3. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, trigger gun momentarily to relieve any
trapped pressure.
4. Once pressure is relieved, disconnect the nozzle assembly.
5. Disconnect and drain gun, lance and hoses.
6. Wipe unit clean and store with gun, lance and hoses in a safe, non-freezing
area.
