locking the safety latch on the trigger.
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to
switch between five different spray tips.The spray tips vary
the spray pattern as shown below (Figure 14).
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Engage the safety latch on the spray gun.
2. Pull back the collar on the quick–connect and pull the
current spray tip off. Store the spray tips in the space
provided on the handles storage panel.
NOTE: For a more gentle rinse, select the white 40° or
green 25° spray tip.To scour the surface, select the yellow
15° or red 0° spray tip.To apply chemical, select the black
spray tip.
3. Pull back on the collar, insert the new spray tip and
release the collar.Tug on the spray tip to make sure it
is securely in place.

to 24 inches away from the cleaning surface. If you get
the spray tip too close, you may damage the cleaning
surface.
