HOW TO ADJUST PRESSURE AND SPRAY PATrERN

On the end of yourspray gun is a nozzle that you can slide forward and backward and that you can also twist from side to side. With the adjustable noz- zle you can adjust the spray pattern to be either high pressure or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.

Located on the front of the pump is the pressure control knob. You can increase the pressure of the spray by turning the knob clockwise or decrease the pressure by turning the knob coun-

terclockwise,

ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE

Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure (see "Adjusting the Spray Pattern in figure below).

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specificallyfor pressure washers. Household detergents could dam- age the pump.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Note: The first step involves applying an appropriate detergent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the solutionon surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu- tion to work.

Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface

you have prepared with the pressure washe r and then rinsing it clean.
