with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
Operation
The following cleaning procedure will help you to organize your cleaning task, and ensure that you
achieve the most beneficial results in the shortest amount of time.
Remember to use the spraying/cleaning techniques previously listed.
1. Surface preparation
Before starting a pressure wash cleaning job, it is important to prepare the surface that is to be
cleaned. This is done by cleaning the area of furniture, and making sure that all windows and doors
are closed tight. In addition, you should make sure that all plants and trees adjacent to the cleaning
area are protected by a drop cloth. This will ensure that your plants won't be sprayed by the deter-
gents.
2. Initial High Pressure Rinse
The next step is to spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or grime that may have
collected on the surface. This will allow your detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked
its way into the cleaning surface. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern
and slowly adjust to the desired spray pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much concen-
trated spray to the surface which could cause damage.
3. Detergent Application
USE THE INSTRUCTIONS APPROPRIATE FOR MODEL PURCHASED
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washes.
NOTE: Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
