Step 2
P1750S and P1800S ONLY: Set the adjustable nozzleto the low
-pressuresetting. The nozzlemust be set in the low-pressure
position to apply detergent. Apply high pressure sprayto small
area and then check surface for damage. If no damage isfound,
you can assumeit is okayto continue cleaning. Start at top of

Damage may occur to painted surface if chemical is
allowed to dry on surface. Wash and rinse a small section
at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct
sunlight
Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to
become clogged and inoperable.
Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
surface being cleaned.
