Tips for cleaning
 Outdoor surfaces should be swept before the T-
Racer is used to avoid damaging the high-pressure
nozzles.
 Prior to use on sensitive surfaces (e.g. wooden sur-
faces), test the product on an imperceptible spot, in
order to promptly detect any changes in the sur-
face.
 The T-Racer is not suited for scouring or scrubbing!
 Guide the T-Racer over the surface without effort.
Do not remain at one spot; always keep moving

during cleaning.
 Adjust the twist grip "Power" in accordance with the
surface to be cleaned.
