service center for more information.
USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRESSURE
WASHERS. Do not use household detergents, acids,

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 container. Place the
detergent injection hose with filter in the bottle, the filter
end should rest at the bottom of the bottle.

dilution. Check your detergent instructions to be sure
additional dilution is not necessary.
Install the blue 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.
