Warning: Risk of bursting. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

Spray Wand Nozzles.

NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

3.Reduce the speed of the gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the engine down and the water pressure will go down with it.

Spray Wand Nozzles (Fig. 1)

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder (B) on the panel assembly (A). Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.
