NOZZLE
Installing Nozzles to Spray Wand
• Pull slip ring on female quick-connect fitting
of spray wand back.
• Insert male quick-connect fitting on pressure
nozzle into female quick-cople on spray wand.
• Release slip ring on female quick-cople and
twist. Listen for “click” to ensure both quick-
connects are coupled.
• Pull high pressure nozzle and spray wand in
opposite direction to ensure they do not sepa-
rate.
ALERT: To prevent damage to your surface
and to select an appropriate nozzle size for
your application, always start with lowest pres-
sure nozzle size (White) and continue chang-
ing to the higher nozzle size until the best
work result is achieved.
The pressure washer comes furnished with five
spray nozzles. Each nozzle is color coded and
delivers a specific spray pattern and pressure
for a particular cleaning job. The size of the
nozzle determines the size of the fan spray and
the pressure out of the nozzle.
WARNING: Pressure washer produces fluid
pressures and velocities high enough to pen-
etrate human and animal flesh which could
result in serious injury or amputation.
Do not point pressure washer in direction of
people or animals. High velocity fluid spray can
cause objects to break, propelling particles at
high speeds.
0° Nozzle (Red): This
nozzle delivers a pin-
point stream of pres-
surized water and is
extremely powerful.
It covers only a small area of cleaning. This
nozzle should only be directed at surfaces that
can withstand high pressure such as metal or
concrete. Do not use this nozzle to clean wood.
15° Nozzle (Yellow):
This nozzle delivers a
powerful 15 degree
spray pattern for in-
tense cleaning of
small areas.
This nozzle should only be used on areas and
materials that can withstand high pressure.
25° Nozzle (Green):
This nozzle delivers a
25 degree spray pat-
tern for intense clean-
ing of larger areas.
This nozzle should only be used on areas that
can withstand pressure from this nozzle.
40° Nozzle (White):
This nozzle delivers a
40 degree spray pat-
tern and a less power-
ful stream of water.
This nozzle can cover a wide area and should
be used for most general cleaning jobs.
Detergent/chemical
Nozzle (Black): This
nozzle is used to apply
special chemicals and
cleaning solutions.
This nozzle produces the weakest pressure
stream of the five nozzles. The pressure wash-
er nozzles are stored in receptacles on a panel
mounted to the handle of the washer. Colors
on the panel identify nozzle location and spray
panel.
Interchanging Pressure Nozzles
Turn off pressure washer before attempting to
change pressure nozzles.
Follow the steps below:
· Pull slip ring of female quick-connect back
and remove pressure nozzle in pressure wand.
· Insert male end of new pressure nozzle into
quick-connect. Release slip ring of quick-con-
nect and twist pressure nozzle ensuring proper
connection.
· Listen for “click” when coupling quick-con-
nect and pull in opposite directions to ensure
the quick-connect does not come apart.
WARNING: Never place hands in front of
nozzle. Never grasp hose or fittings during
pressure washer operation.
Never attempt to attach or remove spray wand
or hose fittings while pressure washer system
is pressurized.
