Pull back on the collar, insert the new nozzle and release the collar. Tug on the nozzle to make sure it is securely in place.

For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning surface. If you get the spray nozzle too close, you may damage the cleaning surface.
