1Introduction
This manual describes both the i-wash® Basic and Pro Reach as these two tools are almost identical.
The differences is that the i-wash Pro Reach is made of 100% carbon fiber and can be combined with
extension poles. The i-wash Basic and Pro Reach are easy and safe tools to use, this manual helps you
get started and explains the operation and maintenance procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the i-wash Basic or Pro Reach and perform daily
maintenance. The manual must be read in full before the first actions. This manual describes the
correct method of use, safety measures, maintenance and transport.
i-team Global continuously improves all their products based on user experience and feedback. Any
deviations between the texts and/or images from the manual and your i-wash Basic or Pro Reach can
therefore arise from the difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous
development and innovation.
1.1 Intended use of the product
The i-wash Basic and Pro Reach are specialized tools. The tools are used for outdoor cleaning. The
brush (Figure 1, pos 1) is used for glass surfaces (Figure 1, pos 2) and the pad (Figure 1, pos 4) is used
for painted or coated surfaces (Figure 1, pos 3).
Water on the surface can cause the surface to become slippery; it is advised to mark the floor of the
job site with a wet floor sign to warn people. (Please note: the wet floor sign is not part of the i-wash
Basic or Pro Reach delivery).
