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 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.
• Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust the
spray to low pressure mode (Figure 12). Slide the nozzle
backward to achieve high pressure.
• Point the nozzle down towards a firm surface and press
the trigger to test the pattern (Figure 13).
• Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 14).
• For most effective cleaning, keep 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.
