How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle
You should now know how to START and STOP your
pressure washer.The information in this section will tell
you how to adjust the spray pattern and to apply detergent
or other cleaning chemicals.
WARNING! NEVER adjust spray pattern when
spraying. NEVER put hands in front of nozzle to
adjust spray pattern.
1. Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust the
spray to low pressure mode (Figure 10). Slide the
nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.
2. Point the nozzle down towards a firm surface and
press the trigger to test the pattern (Figure 11).
3. Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 12).
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the surface being
cleaned.
6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
CAUTION! You must attach all hoses before you start
the engine. Starting the engine without all the hoses
connected and without the water turned ON will damage
the pump.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review the use of adjustable nozzles.
2. Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job.
3. Place the filter end of the chemical injection hose into
the detergent container.
CAUTION! Keep the chemical injection hose from
coming in contact with the hot muffler.
