How To Use Adjustable Nozzle
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it.The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern and to
apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
1. Slide nozzle forward to adjust spray to low pressure
mode (Figure 13). Slide nozzle backward to achieve
high pressure.
2. Point nozzle towards a firm surface and press trigger
to test spray pattern (Figure 14).
3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from a narrow
pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 15).
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. If spray nozzle is held too close to surface, especially
using high pressure mode, damage to surface may
occur.
6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent With Adjustable
Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review adjustable nozzle use.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place filter end of chemical injection hose into
detergent container.
NOTICE
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
• NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.
• NEVER put hands in front of nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
