cleaninG WitH deterGents (oPtional feature):
. The Detergent Injection feature is an optional feature on this machine.
2. Refer to "Risk of Bodily Injury," pg. 7, and the Detergent Injector Manual
which accompanis part #AW-8300-000. Be certain to wear protective
safety attire as stated on pg. 0.
3. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump
acids, alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the
unknown and often corrosive characteristics of many detergents commonly
used in the pressure washer cleaning industry, it is recommended to use
only Mi-T-M detergents with this unit.
4. Connect the Detergent Injector to the unit as directed in the Detergent
Injector Manual.
5. Adjust the amount of detergent desired by locating the adjustment knob
at the end of the clear vinyl hose at the Detergent Injector. Turn the knob
completely counterclockwise to set at the maximum siphon rate.
6. Immerse the strainer into the detergent solution to allow detergent to
siphon.
7. Be certain the water supply is completely turned
on
.
8. With the trigger gun locked in the
off
position, securely quick-connect
the detergent spray nozzle (#6540° BLACK) into the end of the lance.
NOTE:
This injection system is designed to apply detergents under low
pressure only. It will not allow detergent solutions to be introduced
into the system unless the detergent nozzle is installed in the
lance.
9. To apply solution, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a
few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure nozzle.
Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move
up, using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps
avoid streaking. Allow to soak briefly. (Avoid working on hot surfaces or
in direct sunlight to minimize the chances of the detergent drying, which
may result in damaging painted surfaces.) Be certain to apply cleaning
solution to a small section at a time.
0. To rinse: lock the trigger gun in the
off
position, securely quick-connect
the 40° nozzle into the end of the lance. Unlock the trigger gun and
spray. It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line.
For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down.
. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection
system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or
detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.
