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.

The second step involves cleaning the surface

you have prepared with the pressure washer and then

rinsing it clean.
