INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
POwER CORD CONNECTION, CONT'D.:
6. EXTENSION CORDS: Mi-T-M DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF
EXTENSION CORDS! If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it must
be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles.
When using an extension cord, consult a qualified electrician to determine
the proper wire gauge needed for the length of the extension cord.
SINGLE PHASE: Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-
type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the
product.
THREE PHASE: Use only 4 wire extension cords that have 4-prong grounding type
plugs and 4-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances;
store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical
rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse extension cord and do not pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep
cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always connect or disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before connecting or disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.
7. Ensure the area between the pressure washer cord and outlet is kept dry.
8. Insert the male plug into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT use an adapter
OR remove the grounding plug!!
NOzzLE REVIEw:
Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change
the spray pattern or use the detergent feature. When using Quick Connects
(Q.C.), be certain the connection is securely locked. If not, the high pressure
water may shoot the nozzle from the wand, causing severe injury or serious
damage. To determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the
nozzle. The first two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e.; 00=0", 15=15°,
25=25°, 65=detergent/low pressure.
. The 0" nozzle (RED): This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated
stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight narrow stream. It is
not recommended for use on painted or wood surfaces, or items attached
with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks,
stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud
from equipment, and cleaning lawn mower undersides.
2. The 15° nozzle (YELLOw): This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should
be directed at a 45° angle to the surface and used like a scraper to remove
paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing mildew stains
and paint chips).
3. The 25° nozzle (GREEN): This is a flushing nozzle. This pattern is best
suited for flushing dirt, mud, and grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from
walks, curbs and driveways, cleaning stable floors, washing swimming pool
bottoms, degreasing engines.
4. The 65° nozzle (bLACK): This is a low pressure detergent application
nozzle. This broad spray pattern distributes solution over vast areas under
low pressure. Uses: Detergent application, misting or rinsing.
