SELECTING THE RIGHT QUICK CONNECT NOZZLE
FOR THE JOB
See Figure 14 - 15.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best
nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different
spray pattern. The supplied nozzles are: 40˚ White (for
gentle cleaning), 25˚ Green (for general purpose cleaning
or large surfaces), 0˚ Red (for spot cleaning or high-to-
reach areas), and Low Pressure Black (for detergent
application and rinsing).
WARNING:
NEVER change nozzles without engaging the
lock out on the gun and NEVER point the lance at
your face or at others. The Quick Connect collar
contains small springs that could eject the nozzle
with some force. Failure to heed this may cause
personal injury.
Using the Quick Connect collar, changing nozzles is
easy.
To connect a nozzle to the lance:
n
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
n
Engage the lock out on the gun by pulling down on
the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
n
Push the nozzle into the Quick Connect collar until it
clicks in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the lance once the
cleaning job is complete:
n
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
n
Engage the lock out on the gun by pushing down on
the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
n
Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the Quick Connect collar. Place nozzle
in the nozzle storage area on the top of the pressure
washer.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 16.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers;
house hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches,
solvents, flam mable material, or industrial grade
solutions can damage the pump. Many detergents may
require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as
instructed on the solution bottle.
n
Remove the cap from the detergent container. Place
the injection hose with filter in the bottle, the filter end
should rest at the bottom of the bottle.
n
Install the Low Pressure Black nozzle on the lance.
n
Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long,
even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do
not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
n
Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
