Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed to
clean almost any surface in two easy steps,
o The first step involves applying an appropriate deter-
gent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime.
The detergent is applied at low pressure to avoid
splashing, overspraying and waste, Leave the solution
on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to work.
o The second step involves cleaning the surface you
have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
o Prepare your detergent
solution as required by
your job.
o Place small filter of the
clear, detergent syphon-
ing tube into the deter-
gent container (Fig. 10),
o Set nozzle to low pres-
sure mode, Detergent
cannot be siphoned with
nozzle in high pressure
mode (see Fig_9),

pressure mode.
NOTE: Detergents are most effective applied to a dry surface.
