How to Use the Turbo Nozzle
Using the Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle spins a 0° nozzle stream in a circular
pattern, providing an intense wide-spray pattern for scouring
large surface areas fast and efficient.
A turbo nozzle can easily cut through heavy oil and grease
stains on concrete, brick and plastic and strip paint from
various surfaces. DO NOT use the turbo nozzle on delicate
materials, especially wood. Always start the turbo nozzle at a
distance, gradually getting closer to the surface until you get
the cleaning force you want. Always keep the turbo nozzle in
a constant motion. NEVER dwell on a single spot. Pass over
stubborn stains repeatedly until they are gone using even
strokes.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high
pressure spray which is capable of removing
paint and cutting holes through surfaces if held
too close.
• NEVER exchange turbo nozzle and spray tips without engaging
the trigger lock on the spray gun.
• Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be
damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area.
1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray
tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on the nozzle
extension.
2. Pull back on collar, insert turbo nozzle and release collar.
Tug on turbo nozzle to make sure it is securely in place.
3. For most effective cleaning, keep turbo nozzle from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you get turbo
nozzle too close, you may damage cleaning surface.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the turbo nozzle.
Cleaning and Applying Chemical
Chemicals can cause bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/ soaps.
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by manufacturer.
3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent
siphoning tube.
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route
tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting hot muffler.
4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high pressure
spray tips (White, Yellow, or Red).
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.
You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without
the water turned ON will damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
6. Engage trigger lock on spray gun and start engine
following instructions "How to Start Your Pressure
Washer".
7. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
8. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on
(prevents streaking).
IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent siphoning system
after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean
water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for
1-2 minutes.
