SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 14.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the
Nozzle Selection Guide
for more information
about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the
engine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger
handle, and locking the lock out on the trigger handle.
NEVER point the nozzle at your face or at others. The
quick-connect feature contains small springs that could
eject the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.
To connect a nozzle to the trigger handle:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Pull back the quick-connect collar.
Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.
Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.
To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once the
cleaning job is complete:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar.
Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the quick-connect
collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top
of the machine.
