Operation; Pressure Adjustments - DeWalt DXPW3694 Instruction Manual

4. Remove the five colored quick-connect nozzles from the plastic bag
and insert them into correct grommet on the nozzle holder. Nozzles
are color coded to match colored nozzles on panel assembly.
NOTE: The high pressure pump was filled with oil at the factory.
Always check oil level before using (refer to Maintenance for more
information).
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the
tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall
for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to
inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust
pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the
tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the
tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

OPERATION

Pressure Adjustments

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum
pressure and cleaning. To lower the pres sure, follow these instructions.
1. Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you
are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less
powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to
Spray Wand Nozzles.

3. This pressure washer's high pressure
pump is equipped with an adjustable
unloader feature that allows the pressure
setting to be adjusted.
To lower the pressure, turn the
pressure control knob on the pump
counterclockwise to the
pressure.
To return the pump pressure to the
factory setting, turn the pressure control
knob on the pump clockwise until it
stops.
NOTICE: DO NOT try to tum pressure regulator knob past the built-in
stop or damage to the pump will result.
NOTICE: DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob. If
overtightened the knob COULD break and result in immediate loss
of water pressure and costly repairs to the unit.
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher
pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage the pump.
Spray Wand Nozzles
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder (B) on
the panel assembly (A). Colors on the panel identify nozzle location
and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct
nozzle for the job to be performed.
