a. Do not release the trigger between sweeps. Release the trigger as few times
as possible during use. Interrupted or sporadic spraying will cause the unit to
heat up quickly and will increase the need for rest periods.
b. Make sure that all obstacles have been moved and the entire area is ready before
starting.
c. For small jobs, try to finish an entire portion of the job before taking a break.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Clean an inconspicuous test area to help avoid damaging the surface: Always
begin with the fan spray at a distance of about 3-5 feet from the surface being cleaned
to avoid damaging the surface of the object. Make sure that the test area is clear of
people and water prone/delicate objects. If a pressure washing detergent is to be
used, apply the detergent to this area as well. After cleaning this area, switch off the
pressure washer and inspect the area carefully for any damage or discoloration. If
any damage is noted from the pressure setting, use a lighter setting when cleaning
the rest of the area. If damage or discoloration is noted from the detergent, do not
use it when cleaning.
2. First, pass over the area with a light cleaning, and then more thoroughly clean it.
3a. For a
vertical
or
sloped
surface:
a. Wash from the top down.
b. If possible, direct the stream in the same direction as the slope towards a draining
area. This will enable better drainage and therefore better cleaning.
3b. For a
flat
surface:
a. If a thin layer of water accumulates on the surface, periodically use the stream to
direct this water towards the drainage.
b. After the major cleaning is done, sweep the surface with the stream to help direct
loose debris toward the drainage.
4. If detergent is to be applied: Only use pressure washing detergent; other detergents
will clog or damage the pressure washer. Apply the detergent at low pressure, by
either using the Brush Wand (34C) or the low pressure setting of the Spray Wand
(9C). Allow the detergent several minutes to sit and soak into the work surface; this
will improve cleaning efficiency. If the Spray Wand is used, briefly shut off the unit
and pull the adjustable nozzle in to switch to high pressure mode and automatically
shut off the soap dispenser for rinsing. Make certain to rinse off all detergent
completely.
5. Hold the Wash Gun at about a 45° angle and steadily sweep the stream back and
forth; if a severe, head-on angle is used, dirt may imbed in the surface being cleaned.
Follow a steady, consistent pace during cleaning; this will help prevent stripes or
discoloration afterwards. If streaking or uneven cleaning is noted at the end of a
project, go over the edges of the streaks with a wide fan pattern to help blend these
lighter areas in.
6. If several different surfaces are to be cleaned, be careful not to damage any of the
