How To Use Spray Tips; Cleaning And Applying Detergent - Briggs & Stratton Serious Duty Operator's Manual

How to Use Spray Tips

The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to
switch between five different quick connect spray tips. Spray
tips can be changed while pressure washer is running once
spray gun trigger safety lock is engaged. The spray tips vary
the spray pattern 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 exchange spray tips without the trigger safety lock
engaged on the spray gun.
• DO NOT twist spray tips while spraying.
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on the
handle.
2. 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 detergent, select black spray tip.
3. Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release
collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in
place.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface.
• If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high
pressure spray tip, you may damage surface being
cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

Cleaning and Applying Detergent

Chemicals can cause bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
• NEVER 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 spray tips.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent
siphoning tube.
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route
the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot
muffler.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high pressure
spray tips (White, Green, Yellow or Red).
