INSTALLATION & PREPARATION

QUICK-CONNECT NOZZLES:

Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the dual lance to
change the spray pattern. The detergent nozzle has been pre-installed at
the factory. When using quick-connects (Q.C.), be certain the connection is
securely locked as shown at right. If not, the high pressure water may shoot
the nozzle from the lance, 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 degree: 00=0°, 15=15°, 25=25°, 40=40°,
65=65°.
1. 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 backing.
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 40° nozzle (WHITE):
This is a wash nozzle. This wide spray pattern disperses the water pressure
over a large area and is recommended for moderate washing. Uses: Washing
aluminum siding, cleaning windows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks,
driveways, and patios.
4. 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.
5. The 65° nozzle (included in dual lance.)
This is a detergent nozzle. The broad spray pattern distributes solution
over vast areas. Uses: Detergent application, misting or rinsing.
6. The Steam nozzle (1/4" MEG nozzle with Quick Connect Plug)
This nozzle is used for 250°F Wet Steam operation. This nozzle is sized for
operation with the unloader to provide high pressure wet steam. Replacement
of this nozzle with an improperly sized nozzle may cause operational problems
with the machine.
NOZZLE CONNECTION:
1. Ensure the trigger gun is locked in the OFF position.
2. Quick-connect nozzles can be connected or disconnected from the dual
lance assembly by retracting the locking ring on the quick-connect fitting.
When connecting the desired nozzle, push the locking ring over the quick
connect nozzle to secure connection.
