DEGREASING WITH THE POWER SPRAYER WAND
The Power Sprayer Wand works best
using Sears specially formulated
concentrated degreaser, which can
be purchased in the Sears lawn and
garden department. Follow the
directions supplied with the
degreaser for the proper mix ratio.
Most common household degreasers,
are not formulated and concentrated
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 degreasing efficiency.
NOTE: If you do not use Sears
degreaser, 9-16423, be sure the
degreaser you do use is specially
formulated and concentrated for use
with this type of equipment. Mix the
chosen degreaser with water (1 part
degreaser to 4 parts water) to reduce
the viscosity (consistency or
thickness) of the mixture.
Do not clean a hot
engine. Engine
block can crack or other damage
can occur. Wait until the engine
has cooled at least one hour. Cover
the battery and carburetor throat
when you clean the engine.
1. Prepare a mixture of degreaser 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 degreaser/water
mixture.
3. For best degreasing
performance, set your air com-
pressor 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 on your air compressor.
5. Begin the degreasing procedure
by adjusting the air control knob
and the soap/chemical control
knob until they begin spraying
the solution. 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 degreaser solution 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 degreaser solution and
dirt from the surface you are
degreasing.
10. When rinsing 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.
