ADJUSTING FAN PATTERN
The angle of spray coming out of the lance
may be adjusted on some lances by rotating
the nozzle. This will vary the spray pattern
from approximately a 0
°
narrow high impact
stream to a 60
°
wide fan spray (See Figure
2).
A narrow stream has high impact force on the
cleaning surface and results in maximum deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, this
narrow high impact spray must be used
cautiously, as it may damage some surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of
the water over a larger area, resulting in
excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk
of surface damage. Large surface areas can
be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan
pattern.
NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
a significant reduction of water coming out of
the nozzle and cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
To clean out the nozzle:
•
Turn off and unplug unit.
•
Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure
trapped in the hose by squeezing trigger
2-3 times.
•
Separate lance from gun.
•
Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting.
This opens up the fan blades.
•
Using included tip cleaner, or an un-folded
paper clip, insert wire into the nozzle hole
and move back and forth until debris is
dislodged (See Figure 5).
•
Remove additional debris by back-flushing
water through the nozzle. To do this, place
end of a garden hose (with water running)
to end of nozzle for 30 - 60 seconds.
