TO ADJUST TENSION
• Pull spray valve and hose out until the ratchet
goes through two sets of “clicks”.
• Remove shroud screws and shroud (

• Remove spray valve. Do not pull hose while
removing valve or shroud. This may cause
the hose to retract and cause injury
or damage property.
• Push hose through hose guide.
