NOZZLE REVIEW:
Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change the
spray pattern or use the detergent feature. When using Quick Connects (Q.C.),
be certain the connection is securely locked. If not, the high pressure water
may shoot the nozzle from the wand, causing severe injury or serious damage.
To determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the nozzle. The
first two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e.; 00=0”, 15=15°, 40=40°.
1.
The 0° nozzle (RED):
This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated
stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight narrow stream. It is
not recommended for use on painted or wood surfaces, or items attached
with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks,
stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud
from equipment, and cleaning lawn mower undersides.
