of area to be washed and work upward using long, even,
overlapping strokes.

and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from

Electric Pressure Washer Rinsing
1. Select desired high pressure nozzle following instructions

2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.
WARNING Risk of kickback.
Spray gun could kickback causing you to fall resulting
in death or serious injury.

washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar
location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using power
spray modes to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then check
surface for damage. If no damage is found, you can assume it
is okay to continue rinsing.

overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
Other Cleaning Tips
• NEVER leave the electric pressure washer unattended while
it is plugged into an electrical outlet and while water is
supplied to the equipment.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface being
washed, the cleaning may not be as effective.
