nozzle review:  

Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change 
the  spray  pattern.    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°, 40=40°.

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 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, vehicles, spraying 
sidewalks, driveways, and patios.
