How To Use the Adjustable
Nozzle
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern
and apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
_
DANGER! Never adjust spray pattern when
spraying. Never put hands in front of nozzle to
adjust spray pattern.
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle handle that
you can slide forward and backward to adjust the
spray pattern to be either high or low pressure.
Slide nozzle backward for
high pressure mode.
Slide nozzle forward for
low pressure mode and
detergent application.
You can also adjust the spray so it is concentrated in
a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern by
twisting it.
q
Twist nozzle counter-
clockwise for fan pattern.
Twist nozzle clockwise for
narrow spray pattern.
Point the nozzle toward a hard surface, disengage
the safety latch, and press the trigger to test the
spray pattern.
•
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from
a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
•
For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
•
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
surface being cleaned.
•
Do Not get closer than 8 inches when cleaning
tires.
Applying
Detergent
with the Adjustable
Nozzle
IMPORTANT:
Use chemicals designed specifically
for pressure washers, Household detergents could
damage the pump.
IMPORTANT:
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:
•
Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
•
Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
job.
•
Hang the detergent solution container on the hook
of the wireform attached to the handle.
•
Place the filter end of the detergent siphoning tube
into the detergent container.
_
AUTION: When inserting the filter into the
detergent container, route the tube so as to keep it
from inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.
•
Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with the nozzle
in high pressure position.
•
Make sure the garden hose is connected to the
water inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is
connected to the spray gun and the pump. Start
the engine.
•
Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
•
Allow the detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes
before rinsing.
•
For washing, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even,
overlapping strokes.

ARNING:
Be extremely careful if you use the
pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or
any other relatively unstable location. Pressure
in a running washer builds as you climb. When
you press the trigger, the recoil from the initial
spray could force you to fall. The high pressure
spray could also force you to fall if you are too
close to the cleaning surface.
