Insert soap/chemica! line into your container (soap/
chemicals not included).
Prepare the soap/chemicai as required by your job.
NOTE: The first step involves applying an appropriate
soap/chemical solution to penetrate and loosen grime.
The soap/chemical is applied at low pressure to avoid
splashing, over spray and waste. Leave the solution
on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to work.
NOTE: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
• Turn the adjustable nozzle counter clockwise to low
pressure mode. Soap/chemicals cannot be applied
with nozzle in high pressure position.
• Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
• Connect garden hose to water inlet (see 'To Start Your
Pressure Washer"), check that high pressure hose is
connected to spray gun and pump (see Assemb/y),
and start engine.
• Apply soap/chemicals to dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
• Allow the soap/chemicals to soak in between 3-5
minutes before washing and rinsing.
• For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even over
lapping strokes.
Your pressure washer is equipped with a chemical
injector adjustment knob. With the knob fully opened
you will get maximum chemical draw. With knob fully
closed you will get no chemical draw. Turn knob in
counter clockwise direction to achieve more chemical
draw and clockwise for less chemicai draw.
Using Soaps/Chemicals
IMPORTANT: Use soaps and chemicals that are
designed specifically for use with pressure washers. To
apply soap/chemicals follow these steps:
After using the pressure washer, it is recommended
the pump, chemical injector and chemical line be
flushed with clear water. To do so, simply place
chemical injector hose in water and siphon for 1 to 2
minutes.
