Using Nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 15˚ (for tough
jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas), and the
turbo nozzle. The turbo nozzle is a zero-degree rotary nozzle
that spins the spray in a circle so it has a wider cleaning swath.
m
CAUTION!
NEVER change nozzles without locking the
safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING!
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with four (4)
Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the
Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand (Fig. 16).
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
1.
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle.
3. Pull back the brass Quick-Connect collar and insert the
desired nozzle into the collar. Release the collar and the
nozzle will click into place (Fig. 17).
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning
job is complete:
1.
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle.
3. Remove the nozzle by disconnecting it while pulling back
the brass Quick-Connect collar.

WARNING!
Do not make changes to the nozzle while
the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the
pressure washer or injury to the user.
Working with Detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers, such as Sun Joe
®
HOUSE +
DECK WASH (SPX-HDC1G), Sun Joe
®
SNOW FOAM AUTO
WASH (SPX-FCS1G), or Sun Joe
®
HEAVY DUTY CLEANER
(SPX-APC1G). DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material,
or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the
pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior
to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the
solution bottle.
1. Gently pull the foam cannon bottle out of its storage
position (Fig. 18).
2. Remove the cap. Fill the bottle or mix as recommended by
detergent instructions (Fig. 19), and secure the cap back
into place. Replace it back on the unit.
