Adjusting the spray nozzle
The adjustable spray nozzle can be adjusted between a fine
and a strong jet stream. The jet stream can be adjusted by
turning the nozzle (see fig. K).
To increase the angle lo a fine jet stream, hold the jet stream
away from you and turn the nozzle counter-clockwise.
To decrease the angle lo a fine jet stream, hold the jet stream
away from you and turn the nozzle clockwise.
CAuTION:
The high-pressure jet stream la very strong and can dam-
age objects. A 20° jet stream angle should be used for most
cleaning applications to prevent damage to the surfaces being
cleaned.
The pressure of the jet stream against the surface to be
cleaned increases as you bring the spray wand closer to the

High pressure/Turbo spray

Caution!
Do not attempt to adjust the settings of the turbo nozzle.
The high pressure nozzle produces optimum cleaning results
(see fig. L) Always hold the spray wand at least 15-20 cm
away from the surface lo be cleaned.

Some cleaning jobs with the pressure washer are possible
using only water. However, most jobs should be performed
with an additional detergent. Detergents ensure that the dirt
absorbs the high-pressure stream and becomes wet very
quickly, which allows it to be removed more effectively.
The low-pressure setting allows you to carefully apply the
detergent. This setting is also recommended for rinsing sur-
faces after applying wax or for other applications which re-
quire working with a lower water pressure than attained with
a garden hose. For the low-pressure setting, turn off the unit
and use only the water pressure from the garden hose supply-
ing the water.
CAuTION!
Use only detergents Intended for use in pressure washers with
this unit. Ask at your KNOVA about these special products.
K
Do not use any bleach, chlorine products or acidic cleaning
agents.
Assembling the cleaning nozzle
with the detergent bottle
Turn the spray wand 90º counter-clockwise. Pull out the spray
wand.
Place the cleaning nozzle on the spray gun. Push down and
turn the cleaning nozzle clockwise so that it locks into place
(see fig. M).

Applying detergent

Apply the solution to a DRY working surface. For vertical sur-
faces, apply the detergent in a horizontal direction from side
to side starting at the bottom and working upwards to avoid
streaks.
L
Leave the detergent on the surface for a short time before
rinsing it off.
Rinse at high pressure with clear water. For vertical surfaces,
rinse from the bottom upward and then from the top down-
ward. Hold the spray nozzle at a distance of 15 - 20 cm from
the work surface at a 45° angle and use the fiat jet spray with
e peeling-like motion rather man a brushing motion.
It le not advisable to moisten the surface first, since this can
dilute and limit the effect of the detergent.
