Nozzle Review

Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change the spray pattern or use the detergent feature. When using Quick Connects (Q.C.), be certain the connection is securely locked. If not, the high pressure water may shoot the nozzle from the wand, causing severe injury or serious damage.

To determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the nozzle. The first two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e.; 0=0°, 15=15°, 25=25°, 40 = 40°, 65=detergent/low pressure.

The 0° nozzle (RED): This is a blasting nozzle. It deliv- ers a very concentrated stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight narrow stream. It is not recom- mended for use on painted or wood surfaces, or items attached with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from con- crete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud from equipment, and cleaning lawn mower undersides.

The 15° nozzle (YELLOW): This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should be directed at a 45° angle to the surface and used like a scraper to remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing mildew stains and paint chips).

The 25° nozzle (GREEN): This is a flushing nozzle. This pattern is best suited for flushing dirt, mud, and grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from walks, curbs and driveways, cleaning stable floors, washing swim- ming pool bottoms, degreasing engines.

The 40° nozzle (WHITE): This is a wash nozzle. This wide spray pattern disperses the water pressure over a large area and is recommended for moderate washing. Uses: Washing down aluminum siding, cleaning win- dows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks, driveways and patios.

The 65° nozzle (BLACK): This is a low pressure de- tergent application nozzle. This broad spray pattern distributes solution over vast areas under low pressure. Uses: Detergent application, misting or rinsing.
