The method of application and the dosage of the individual products appear on the product labels or the
data sheet. The dosage is adjusted on the dosing unit of the high pressure washer.
4.4 Dosing of detergents
The high pressure washer features a built-in injector enabling dosing of detergent to the water when the
cleaner is in low pressure mode. With this dosing unit it is possible to vary the dosing of detergent infini-
tely between 0-7%, and thus most cleaning jobs will be covered. Upon application of the detergent the
dosing knob should be turned clockwise to step 0 (also see section 3.1.6).
