How to Use Spray Tips

The nozzle extension quick–connect allows the use of several different spray tips. Each spray tip provides a different spray pattern (Figure 7).

Follow these instructions to change spray tips:

1.Engage safety latch on spray gun.

CAUTION

A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.

NEVER exchange spray tips without locking the safety latch on the trigger.

2.Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray tip off.

3.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 chemical, select black spray tip.

4.Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.

5.For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automobile tires.

Cleaning and Applying Chemical

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for

pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump.

CAUTION

You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.

Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water turned ON will damage the pump.

Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

1.Review spray tip use.

2.Prepare detergent solution as required by manufacturer.

3.Place chemical injection siphon/filter into detergent container.

CAUTION

Keep the chemical injection tube from coming in contact with the hot muffler.

When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.

4.Make sure black spray tip is installed.

NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with high pressure spray tips (White, Green, Yellow, or Red).
