Usage Tips
•For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to 24 inches (20 to
61 cm) away from cleaning surface.
•If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high pressure Spray
tip, you may damage surface being cleaned.
•DO NOT get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning tires.
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
When cleaning, the distance between spray nozzle to surface not too
far, shall be 10cm, because the pressure of the spray nozzle will be
reduce if too far.
The pressure not over working pressure, pressure shall be adjusted
under jet situation.
When operating, the bottom of pump if have few drips, not effect using.
It is normal.
