CAUTION! Always test detergent in an inconspicuous
area before use.

unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water
and be discharged through the nozzle.
• Turn the detergent dial to adjust the suction volume of the
detergent solution (Fig. 25).
• Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the DRY
surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
• Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the
surface.
m
CAUTION! 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.
• When you have finished using the detergent injection
system, remove the detergent suction tube from the
detergent bottle and insert it into 5 L (1 gallon) of fresh
water. Siphon water at low-pressure for one minute so that
all the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove the
detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.

inoperable.

• Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).

while pulling back on the quick-connect collar.
• Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 26):
i) A 0º straight pencil point nozzle (orange) is a thin
extremely powerful nozzle used to cut heavy deposits
in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving
stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on
concrete or 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/tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used to avoid gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
