SPRAYING TIPS
For most cleaning, keep nozzle 8 – 24 in. (20 – 61 cm)
away from cleaning surface.
Damage may occur to the cleaning surface if you
spray too close, especially with high-pressure
nozzles.
When you begin spraying, start farther away and
move closer to avoid damage to the surface.
When cleaning tires, allow at least 6 in. (15 cm)
between a tire and the nozzle.

Do not get any closer than 6 in. (15 cm). Spraying
closer than 6 in. (15 cm) may damage tire.
To relieve system pressure, shut off engine, turn off water
