How To Use the Adjustable Nozzle
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern
and apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
WARNING!
Never adjust spray pattern when
spraying. Never put hands in front of nozzle to
adjust spray pattern.
Your unit is equipped with an adjustable nozzle that
permits you to adjust the spray pressure and the spray
pattern, as follows:
• Push the nozzle forward (backward) to adjust the
spray pattern for high (low) spray pressure.
Slide nozzle backward for
high pressure mode.
• Point the nozzle toward the ground, disengage the
safety latch, and press the trigger to test the
pattern.
• Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from
a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
Slide nozzle forward for
low pressure mode and
detergent application.
Twist nozzle counter-
clockwise for fan pattern.
• For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
• If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
surface being cleaned.
• Do Not get closer than 8 inches when cleaning
tires.
Cleaning With The Adjustable Nozzle
CAUTION!
Before starting your cleaning system,
make sure you have read and followed the instructions
in the sections "Assembling your Cleaning System"
and "To Start your Cleaning System".
IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically for
pressure washer cleaning systems. Household
chemicals could damage the pump.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Up to three (3) different solutions can be carried with
the cleaning system at one time. To apply detergent
follow these steps:
• Dilution is necessary when using the supplied
chemical packets. Simply snip one corner of the
plastic pouch, pour the chemical into the tank, then
fill the tank with clean water. Label tanks with the
provided tank labels.
