The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to
switch between five different nozzles. The nozzles vary the
spray pattern as shown below (Figure 12).
Follow these instructions to change nozzles:
• Engage the safety latch on the spray gun.
• Pull back the collar on the quick–connect and pull the
current nozzle off. Store the nozzle in the space provided
on the control panel.
NOTE: For a more gentle rinse, select the white 40° or
green 25° nozzle. To scour the surface, select the yellow
15° or red 0° nozzle. To apply chemical, select the black
nozzle.
• Pull back on the collar, insert the new nozzle and release
the collar. Tug on the nozzle to make sure it is securely
in place.
• For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning surface. If
you get the spray nozzle too close, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
