To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks in place and is secured properly.

To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:

Place hand over nozzle then pull back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top of the machine.

USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER

See Figure 16.��

For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the spray wand at all times.

Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure washer.

Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the nozzle.

To engage the lock out:

Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

To disengage the lock out:

Push the lock out down and into its original position.

For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
