SIPHONING
We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water sup-

TIPS
= Initially clean an area and then check the surface for
damage, if no damage is found, you can assume it is
okay tocontinue cleaning Detergents work best when
applied to dry surface,
,, For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle be-
tween 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface.
o Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing
= For cleaning, startat lower portion ofarea tobe washed
and work upward, using long, even overlapping
strokes.
= For rinsing, push the nozzle sleeve to high pressure
and wait for detergent to clear. Start at the top of area
to be rinsed, working down with the same action as for
cleaning..
o Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or
wax,
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning
surface_
if you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automo -
bite tires.
