How to Use Spray Tips
You should now be familiar with how to START and STOP your
electric pressure washer. If not, please refer to the previous
section to familiarize yourself with STARTING and STOPPING the
system before continuing.
There are three spray tips supplied with the pressure washer. The
turbo spray tip whirls a powerful pin-point jet of water for intense
cleaning. The white tipped spray tip is for general soap applica-
tions and the orange tipped spray tip is for various high pressure
applications.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to 24 inches
away from cleaning surface.
• If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high pressure
setting, you may damage surface being cleaned.
• Do Not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
