How to Use Selector Nozzle
The selector nozzle allows you to switch between five
different spray pattern nozzles. Spray patterns can be
changed while pressure washer is running once spray gun
trigger safety lock is engaged. The spray patterns vary as
shown below.
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.
• NEVER change spray patterns without the trigger locked on the
spray gun.
• DO NOT twist selector nozzle while spraying.
Follow these instructions to change nozzle patterns:
1. Select desired spray pattern:
• MAX - For stubborn or hard to reach surface such
as second story surfaces, paint removal, oil stains,
rust removal or other stubborn substances (tar,
gum, grease, wax, etc.).
• GENERAL - For most all purpose cleaning such as
home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways
and sidewalks, garage floors, etc..
• DELICATE - For gentle cleaning of cars/trucks,
boats, RV's, patio furniture, lawn equipment, etc..
• FLUSH - For quick high flow clean up and long
reach cleaning of second story siding and windows.
• SOAP - For general soap applications or to launch
soap to second story siding and windows.
2. Push button on selector nozzle, nozzle dial will pop up.
3. Turn dial until desired spray pattern lines up with button

Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep selector nozzle from
8 to 24 inches (20 to 61 cm) away from cleaning surface.
• If you get selector nozzle too close, especially using a
high pressure spray pattern nozzle, you may damage
surface being cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning
tires.
Cleaning and Applying Detergent
WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause bodily injury, property
damage or death.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Follow all
manufacturers instructions.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of selector nozzle.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent
siphoning tube.
• When inserting the siphon into a detergent solution bottle, route
the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot
muffler.
NOTICE Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
4. Make sure SOAP spray pattern nozzle is selected on
selector nozzle.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with the MAX,
GENERAL, DELICATE or FLUSH spray pattern nozzles.
