Electric Pressure Washer Rinsing

1. Remove foam lance from wand.
2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to
spray.
WARNING Risk of kickback.
B
• Operate the electric pressure washer from a
stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the electric pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar
location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using
power spray modes to avoid injury when spray gun kicks
back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you can
assume it is okay to continue rinsing.
4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same
overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
Other Cleaning Tips
• NEVER leave the electric pressure washer unattended
while it is plugged into an electrical outlet and while
water is supplied to the equipment.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface
being washed, the cleaning may not be as effective.
