How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to
switch between several different spray tips. The spray tips
vary the spray pattern as shown below (Figure 6).
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1.
Engage safety latch on spray gun.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
• NEVER exchange spray tips without locking the safety latch
on the trigger.
2.
Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off. Store spray tips in space provided on
handles storage panel.
3.
Select desired spray tip:
•
For gentle rinse, select white 40° or green 25°
spray tip.
•
To scour surface, select yellow 15° or red 0° spray
tip.
•
To apply chemical, select black spray tip.
4.
Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar.
Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.
5.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you get spray
tip too close, you may damage cleaning surface. DO
NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
