How To Use Adjustable Nozzle
You now should know how to START your pressure washer and how to STOP it.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 to adjust spray to low pressure mode (Figure 13). Slide nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.

4.For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5.If spray nozzle is held too close to surface, especially using high pressure mode, damage to surface may occur.
6.DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump.
