Attach Nozzle To Spray Gun; Step 2. Pre-Spraying Procedure; Safety Rules - North Star 1574210 Owner's Manual

Note: Use only the black low-pressure nozzle for
spraying chemicals, which provides the proper mixing
ratio.

Attach Nozzle to Spray Gun

WARNING: Depressurize first
Any time you remove/install/change a nozzle, you
must depressurize hose line by squeezing the
spray gun trigger while the Motor is off. Even if the
Motor has been off for a long period of time, the
hose may remain dangerously pressurized.
1. Make sure the Motor is off and the hose line
depressurized.
2. To install the nozzle, pull the collar back and twist
the nozzle firmly into the coupler on the end of the
wand. (Fig. 10a)

3. Release the collar, making sure it springs back and
re-seats to its original (non-retracted) position. (Fig.
10b). Check the connection by pulling on the
nozzle to ensure a tight connection -- if correctly
inserted, nozzle will rotate but not pull out.
WARNING: Projectile hazard
Sprayer nozzle can become a projectile and cause
serious personal injury or damage if not properly
connected to the spray gun.

Step 2. Pre-Spraying Procedure

Safety Rules

Prevent slips/loss of balance. High-pressure spray
could cause you to lose balance from kickback forces,
and wet surfaces can be slippery.
Keep good footing and balance at all times.
•
Do not overreach.
•
Do not stand on unstable support when spraying.
•
Use extreme caution when spraying from a ladder
•
or scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored from
sway or tip-over. Use extreme caution to avoid
falling as spray gun kick can propel you off the
ladder or scaffolding.
Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces.
•
Ensure there is adequate drainage to prevent
pooling of water.
Keep spray away from electrical wiring. Spray
contact with electrical wiring will likely result in severe
electrical shock or electrocution.
Keep spray away from people. Never direct discharge
stream at or near any person. Do not allow any part of
the body to come in contact with the fluid stream.
Prevent surface damage & flying debris. Surfaces
being sprayed must be strong enough to withstand high-
pressure spray, or damage may result. In addition, high-
pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects, surface
chips, and debris, resulting in hazardous flying objects
that can cause personal injury or property damage. Do
not spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile,
unsecured objects, such as:
Stucco or laminar flagstone
•
Some painted surfaces
•
Windows or glass doors (because they may
•
break)
Light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes
•
Unsecured, lightweight objects
