installation & preparation
nozzle review:
Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change
the spray pattern. When using Quick Connects (Q.C.), be certain the
connection is securely locked. If not, the high pressure water may shoot
the nozzle from the wand, causing severe injury or serious damage. To
determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the nozzle.
The first two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e.; 00=0°, 15=15°,
25=25°, 40=40°.
1. the 0° nozzle (red): This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very
concentrated stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight
narrow stream. It is not recommended for use on painted or wood
surfaces, or items attached with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing
weeds from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from concrete, masonry,
aluminum and steel, caked mud from equipment, and cleaning lawn
mower undersides.
2. the 15° nozzle (yellow): This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray
should be directed at a 45° angle to the surface and used like a scraper
to remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing
mildew stains and paint chips).
3. the 25° nozzle (green): This is a flushing nozzle. This pattern is best
suited for flushing dirt, mud, and grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from
walks, curbs and driveways, cleaning stable floors, washing swimming
pool bottoms, degreasing engines.
4. the 40° nozzle (wHite): This is a wash nozzle. This wide spray pattern
disperses the water pressure over a large area and is recommended for
moderate washing. Uses: Washing aluminum siding, vehicles, spraying
sidewalks, driveways, and patios.
nozzle connection:
1. Be certain the trigger gun is locked in the "OFF" position. See WARNING
at right.
2. The nozzle assembly should be disconnected from the gun assembly
at this time by retracting the locking ring on the quick-connect fitting to
remove the nozzle.
