TIPS OR NOZZLES
The Quick Couplet Tips or Nozzles are inserted into the
end of the wand by means of a Quick Coupler. Tips are
supplied in the four most popular sizes & can do many
jobs for you. You MUST seat the tip into the quick coupler
firmly and make sure the quick coupler is closed. If you
have a leak at the tip around the quick coupler, you have
lost the O-Ring inside the quick coupler. If lost, the O-Ring
MUST BE REPLACED!
Failure to lock the quick coupler into place can result in
personal injury and loss of the O-Ring on a female coupler.
Danger signals are indicated by water leakage.
Learning what each tip can do for you will make your
AIRLESSCO machine more valuable and will allow you
to do your cleaning jobs faster and more effectively. By
experimenting, you will find that different tips do the job
better and moving the wand closer to and farther from the
area to be cleaned will also change the way the machine
will work for you.
You should always start each new job away from the target
and move closer as you see the need. Be careful, you can
damage some surfaces if the pressure is too concentrated
and too close.
NOZZLE SELECTION GUIDE
The pressure and volume of a pressure washer is deter-
mined by the size of the opening (orifice) in the nozzle.
There are numbers on the nozzle which explain it’s size.
The first two numbers indicate the size of the spray angle.
(00 means 0 degree, 15 means 15 degrees etc…) The last
number indicates the size of the orifice. This is not a mea-
surement of an inch, but a standardized measurement.
THE 0 DEGREE NOZZLE –
This is the blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated
stream of water. Care should be used to avoid damaging
wood or fragile surfaces. WARNING: This nozzle must
not be used on rental machines supplied to homeowners or
non-contractors.
TIPS AND NOZZLES
THE 15 DEGREE NOZZLE – 3/4"
This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should be directed at a
45 degree angle to the surface and used like a scraper to re-
move paint, grease and dirt. This is the most used tip of all.
THE 25 DEGREE NOZZLE – 5-6”
This is a flushing nozzle. It gives a wider coverage and is
used if the area being cleaned would be damaged by a nar-
rower tip.
THE 40 DEGREE NOZZLE – 8-10” –
This is a wash nozzle. Its wide spray pattern disperses the
water pressure over a large area and is recommended
for rinsing and moderate washing.
TIPS WILL WEAR IN TIME. THE MORE
YOU USE A TIP, THE MORE YOUR TIP
WILL WEAR. A WORN TIP WILL CAUSE A
SIGNIFICANT DROP IN PRESSURE. CHECK
AND REPLACE YOUR TIPS FREQUENTLY.
QUICK COUPLER
The quick coupler allows you to attach different devices to-
gether quick and secure. To use, simply slide the collar back
and insert the plug. Make sure the plug is securely seated.
It’s always a good idea to “tug” on the two parts to make
sure they are firmly seated together.
Always make sure the O-Ring is in place inside the quick
coupler. To see if the O-Ring is in place, make sure the Pres-
sure Washer is off and all system pressure has been relieved,
then you may look into the quick coupler at the collar (fe-
male) side of the quick coupler. You will be able to see the
O-Ring inside. If the O-Ring is missing, it must be replaced
to ensure a good pressure seal.
