How to Use Spray Tips

The quick-connect on the nozzleextension allows you to

switch betweenfour different quick connect spray tips. Spray

tips can be changedwhile pressurewasher is running once

spray gun trigger lock is engaged.Thespray tips vary the

spray pattern asshown below.

Foflowtheseinstructionsto changespraytips:

1. Pull back collar on quick-connect and pull current spray

tip off. Storespray tips in holes provided in the handle.

_i, WARNING The high pressure stream of water that

this equipment produces cancut through skin

and its underlying tissues, leadingto serious

injury and possible amputation.

• NEVERexchangespraytipswithoutthetriggerlockedonthe

spraygun.

• DONOTtwist spraytips whilespraying.

2. Select desiredspray tip:

• For gentle rinse, selectwhite 40° or green 25° spray

tip.

• To scour surface, selectyellow 15° or red 0° spray

tip.

• To applydetergent, select black spray tip.

3. Pull back on collar, insert newspray tip and release

collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in

place.

UsageTips

* For most effective cleaning, keepspray tip from 8 to

24 inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom cleaning surface.

If you get spray tip too close, especiallyusing a high

pressure spray tip, you may damagesurfacebeing

cleaned.

DONOTget closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning

tires.

2. Preparedetergent solution as required by job.

3. Placesmall filter end of detergent siphoning tube into

detergent container.

NOTICE Makesure the filter is fully submerged in detergent

while applying detergent.

NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent

siphoning tube.

• When inserting the siphon into adetergent solution bottle, route

the tube so asto keep it from inadvertentlycontacting the hot

muffler.

4. Makesure garden hoseis connectedto water inlet.

Checkthat high pressure hose is connectedto spray gun

and pump. Turn on water.

including proper storage as detailedin Storage.

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to

properly maintain your pressure washer.

All serviceand adjustments should be made at least once

eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart.

NOTICE Oncea year you should cleanor replacethe spark

plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug andcleanair

filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.
