Using the nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 25˚ (for
all-purpose cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning
or hard-to-reach areas) and the Soap Nozzle (for detergent
application).
m
CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without locking the
safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING! High pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment or the appliance itself.
• To engage the safety lock, pull the safety lock until it clicks
into the slot (Fig. 22).
The washer is equipped with quick connect nozzles that easily
snap onto the quick connect collar of the spray wand.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
• Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
• Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
• Snap the desired nozzle onto the quick connect collar until
it clicks into place and is secured properly (Fig. 23).
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning
job is complete:
• Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
• Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
• Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle
while pulling back on the quick connect collar.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Working with detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING! Use only detergents designed for
Pressure Washers . DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material,
or industrial grade solutions. These can damage the pump.
Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the
cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
• Remove the cap from the detergent bottle.
• Gently pull the on-board detergent tanks out of their
storage position and fill with detergent (Fig. 24).
