How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle
Figure 11 — Adjusting the Nozzle for Spray Pattern
You should now know how to START and STOP your pressure washer.The information in this section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern and to apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
•NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.
•NEVER put hands in front of nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
1.Slide nozzle forward when you wish to adjust spray to low pressure mode (Figure 9). Slide nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.

4.For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5.If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage surface being cleaned.
6.DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
Using the Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a rapid circular pattern.The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of the nozzle extension is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being cleaned.
CAUTION
The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint and cutting holes through surfaces if held too close.
•Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area.
To attach the turbo nozzle to the spray gun:
1.Engage safety latch to spray gun trigger.
2.Remove the nozzle extension from the spray gun, if attached.
3.Attach the turbo nozzle extension to spray gun (Figure 12).Tighten by hand.
