DEGREASING
WITH THE POWER WASHER
The Power Washer works best using Sears specially
_rmulated concentrateddegrease_,9.16421, which can
be purchased in the Sears hardware department or
from the Sears general cata!og. Follow the directions
supplied
with the
degreaser
for
the
proper
watertdegreaser mix ratio.
Most common householddegreasers, are not formu_atecl
and concentrated for use in your Power Washer. They
are too heavy or thick to pass through your Power
Washer and if they are dilutedwith water, they lose their
degreasing efficiency,
NOTE: If you do not use Sears degreaseE;9-16421, be
sure thedegreaser you do use is specially formulated
and concentrated for use with this type of equipment,
Mix the chosendegreaser 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 unlil
lhe engine has =ooled at least one hour.

of degreaser in a 1.gallon
plastic buoket or suitable container.
