OPERATION

WARNING

Make sure the nozzle and hose connections are secure before starting the machine. A non-secured accessory could become a projectile if not properly installed which could result in serious injury.

SELECTING THE CORRECT QUICK-CONNECT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB

See Figure 17.��

Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the five nozzles has a different spray pattern. The nozzle colors and spray patterns are: black (low pressure), white (medium pressure) 40˚, green (medium pressure) 25˚, yellow (high pressure) 15˚, and red (high pressure) 0˚.

NOTE: For a gentle rinse or cleaning large areas, select the white 40˚ or green 25˚ nozzle. Scouring the surface requires a more direct spray of water. Select the yellow 15˚ or red 0˚ nozzle for tough jobs. Apply detergent using the black nozzle with the thumb dial in the MAX position and the detergent metering valve in any posi- tion other than off. Use only specifically recommended nozzles.

To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:

1.Place ON / OFF Switch in theOFF ( O ) position.

2.Shut off the water supply at the water main then pull the spray wand trigger to release water pressure.

3.Engage the lock off on the wand by pushing up on the lock off until it clicks into the slot.

4.Pull back and remove the nozzle. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on top of the machine.
