Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and pump; start engine.
7. Rotate chemical shut-off valve on desired chemical
reservoir to “On” position (Figure 14).
8. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.

before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent
to dry on (prevents streaking).
Pressure Washer Rinsing

same overlapping strokes used for cleaning.
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
