How To Use Your Pressure Washer
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the nozzle to either high pressure or low
pressure.
• Turn the nozzle in a counter clockwise direction to
achieve low pressure. Turn nozzle clockwise for high
pressure.
* For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 and 24 inches of cleaning surface.
IMPORTANT:
if you get spray nozzle too close,
especially on high pressure, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
• The pressure control knob is located on the pump.
You can increase the pressure by turning the knob
clockwise or decrease the pressure by turning the
knob counterclockwise.
