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 8).

Cleaning and Applying Chemical

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for

pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump.

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

Follow these instructions to change spray tips:

1.Engage safety latch on spray gun.

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.

6.DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automobile tires.
