Risk of injection or injury to person and animals. Do not
direct discharge stream toward persons, unprotected skin,
eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
DO NOT attempt to change nozzles while pressure washer is
running. Turn motor off before changing nozzles.
Your pressure washer is equipped with four spray nozzles.
Each is color coded and delivers a specific spray pattern
for a particular cleaning purpose. The size of the nozzle
determines the size of the fan spray and the pressure out
of the nozzle. The 0º, 15º, and 40º nozzles are high
pressure nozzles. The chemical nozzle is a low pressure
nozzle.
The nozzles are housed in receptacles on the panel of the
pressure washer handle. Color squares on the panel identify nozzle location and
spray pattern.
To change quick connect nozzles:
1. Pull quick connect coupler back and insert nozzle.
2. Release quick connect coupler and twist nozzle to make sure it is secure in
coupler.
Risk Of Injury. Ensure nozzle is completely inserted in QC
socket, and QC snap ring is fully engaged (forward) before
squeezing gun trigger.

and is extremely powerful. It covers a very small area of
cleaning. This nozzle should only be used on surfaces
that can withstand this high pressure such as metal or
concrete. Do not use on wood.
15º nozzle - Yellow. This nozzle delivers a powerful 15
degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of small areas.
This nozzle should only be used on areas that can
withstand the high pressure from this nozzle.
40º nozzle - White. This nozzle delivers a 40 degree spray
pattern and a less powerful stream of water. It covers a wide
area of cleaning. This nozzle should be used for most general
cleaning jobs.
Chemical nozzle - Black. This nozzle is used to apply
chemicals or cleaning solutions. It has the least powerful
stream.
