4. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner will dissolve dirt most effectively. NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
mCAUTION! Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
5. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing with the pressure washer. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface.
mCAUTION! 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.
6. Rinse with clean water. When working on a vertical surface, wash from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down to avoid streaking. Hold the nozzle 6-8 inches away from the work surface at a 45° angle.
mIMPORTANT! NEVER USE:
· Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals · Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
· Tri-sodium phosphate products · Ammonia products · Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the cleaning surface.

3. The foamer cannon is equipped with a foam-volume adjustable knob. Follow the instructions as shown to use the foam-volume adjustable knob (Fig. 17).

7. When the vacuuming job is done, return the switch to the OFF(O) position and unplug the power cord. Disassemble and store all the accessories.
mWARNING! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids,
do not immerse the nozzle attachment completely in the liquid;
leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum capacity.
You will notice a decrease in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, unplug the unit, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain.
