Using the Adjustable Lance

The angle of the water on the adjustable lance may be adjusted between 0° and 60° by turning the nozzle adjuster counter-clockwise for a wider angle or clockwise for a narrower angle. (Fig. 13 & Fig. 14) Always make sure that the "On/Off' switch is in the "Off" position before changing the angle of the water jet. It is also recommended that the trigger gun safety lock be engaged as well. The adjustable lance allows you to use any variety of spray pattern from a full fan spray to a direct stream spray. When using the pressure washer to clean wood decks, siding, vehicles, etc., always start using the fan spray and begin spraying from a minimum 36" away to avoid damaging the surface of the material that you are cleaning. Always clear the area that you will be cleaning; of people, pets and objects.

Using Brush With the Trigger Gun

The brush is used with the trigger gun. Push the brush onto the trigger gun nozzle and turn clockwise to lock as you would for the lance. (Fig. 15) The brush may be used for washing cars, boats, windows and other similar items. The brush operates at open orifice pressure so it will not direct a stream of water.
