Operation31- If spraying from an elevated surface, use fall protection because spraygun kickback can propel you off the elevated surface. When sprayingfrom a ladder or scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored from sway ortip-over.- Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces. Ensure there is adequatedrainage to prevent pooling of water.• Prevent surface damage & flying debris – Surfaces being sprayed must bestrong enough to withstand high-pressure spray or damage may result. Inaddition, high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects as well as surfacechips and debris, resulting in hazardous flying objects that can cause personalinjury or property damage. Do not spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile, orunsecured objects such as:o stucco or laminar flagstoneo some painted surfaceso windows or glass doors (because they may break)o light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxeso unsecured, lightweight objectsProcedure:1. Put on one of the high-pressure spray nozzles (always relieve systempressure first and follow instructions for attaching a nozzle).2. Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep children and pets away.3. Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a sturdy stance -- Gun kicksback when triggered.CAUTION:Spray gun metal gets extremely hot when using the burner and canburn you on contact. Never touch the metal screw or any metal partsof the spray gun when the heater is being used. Use only designatedgrip areas.4. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-to-side motions. This washesaway heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work toward thetop.5. Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide path. Overlap spraypaths for complete coverage.6. The nozzle should be 12” to 24” from the work, closer for tough areas.7. Small parts should be washed in a basket so the pressure does not pushthem away. Larger, lightweight parts should be clamped down.00417Safety Latch
