How to Use the Adjustable
Nozzle
The information in this section will tell you how to
adjust the spray pattern and apply detergent or any
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 that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the spray pattern to be either high pres-
sure or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray
so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded
into a fan pattern.
Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust
the spray to low pressure mode (Figure 11). Slide
the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.
Point the nozzle toward the ground and press the
trigger to test the pattern (Figure 12).
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 the cleaning sur-
face.
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
Do not get closer than 8 inches when cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps 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.
