How to Use Spray Tips

The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to switch between five different quick connect spray tips. Spray tips can be changed while pressure washer is running once spray gun trigger safety lock is engaged. The spray tips vary the spray pattern as shown below.

WARNING

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

NEVER exchange spray tips without the trigger safety lock engaged on the spray gun.

DO NOT twist spray tips while spraying.

Follow these instructions to change spray tips:

1.Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on the handle.

2.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 detergent, select black spray tip.

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

Chemicals can cause bodily injury, and/or property damage.

NEVER use caustic liquid with pressure washer.

Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Follow all manufacturers instructions.

To apply detergent, follow these steps:

1.Review use of spray tips.

2.Prepare detergent solution as required by job.

3.Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into detergent container.

NOTICE

Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent siphoning tube.

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

NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent while applying detergent.

4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.

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

For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high pressure spray tip, you may damage surface being cleaned.
