WASHING WITH THE POWER SPRAYER WAND
The Power Sprayer Wand works best
using Sears specially formulated
concentrated detergent, which can
be purchased in the Sears lawn and
garden department. Follow the
directions supplied with the detergent
for the proper water/detergent mix
ratio.
Most common household detergents
are not formulated for use in your
Power Sprayer Wand. They are too
heavy or thick to pass through your
Power Sprayer Wand and if they are
diluted with water, they lose their
cleaning efficiency.
NOTE: If you do not use Sears
detergent, be sure the detergent you
do use is specially formulated and
concentrated for use with this type of
equipment. Mix the chosen detergent
with water (1 part detergent to 8 parts
water) to reduce the viscosity
(consistency or thickness) of the
mixture.
1.
Prepare a mixture of detergent in
a 1-gallon plastic bucket or
suitable container.
2. Attach the garden hose (cold or
warm water), air hose, and
chemical draw hose to the
Power Sprayer Wand. Place the
free end of the chemical draw
hose into the detergent/water
mixture.
3. For best performance, set your
compressor to the maximum
pressure available from your air
compressor not to exceed 125
PSIG. Be sure the air and water
controls on the Power Sprayer
Wand are in the "Off" position.
4. Turn the water source fully on
and turn on your air compressor.
5. Begin the washing procedure by
adjusting the air control knob
and the soap/chemical control
knob until they begin spraying
the solution onto the surface
to be washed. The water knob
should be OFF. Continue
spraying until the surface is
completely covered with the
solution.
6. To stop spraying, turn the
soap/chemical control knob and
the air control knob to the "Off"
position.
7. Let the soap remain on the
surface for about 30 seconds. A
certain amount of wiping will be
required for most types of foreign
matter.
8. Fully open both air and water
control knobs.
9. Rinse the soap and dirt from the
surface you are washing.
10. When rinising or washing
surfaces with an air/water
mixture, the Power Sprayer
Wand will pulsate under certain
conditions. This is normal,
especially at high air/water
pressures. The pulsations
indicate the air and water are
mixing effectively and should
improve the cleaning action of
the spray.
