Use with the nozzles pointed down and forward (pivot coupler in
back position) to wash large flat surfaces like sidewalks or drive-
ways. Walk slowly behind the water broom, cleaning as you go.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection or injury, never lift the water broom while
operating the pressure washer.
Pivot so the nozzles are pointed upward (pivot coupler in forward
position) to clean the underside of raised items like your car’s
undercarriage.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injection or injury, do not depress the trigger until
the water broom nozzles are completely underneath the surface being
cleaned, and always release the trigger before removing the water
broom from underneath the surface
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
See Figure 5.
When shipped, the nozzles are pre-assembled to the water broom.
These nozzles are appropriate for use with pressure washers operating
at 2300 to 3300 psi with a maximum flow rate of 3.0 gpm.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the
trigger and/or a higher vibration in the water broom) may be the result
of a clogged or dirty nozzle.
NOTE: Never point the nozzles at your face.
nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. With the
water broom on the ground, pull trigger to release water pressure.
nDisconnect water broom from spray wand.
nUsing a straightened paper clip or fine needle, free any foreign ma-
terials clogging or restricting the nozzle.
nRemove high pressure filter as described in the next section, then
use a garden hose to flush any debris out of nozzles by running the
water through the nozzle openings into the water broom and allowing
debris to drain out through the water broom’s inlet plug.
nReinstall high pressure filter as described in the next section and
tighten securely.
nReconnect the water broom to the spray wand.
nTurn on the water supply and start the pressure washer.
CHANGING THE HIGH PRESSURE FILTER
See Figure 6.
Once you have cleaned the nozzles, if the water still doesn’t flow freely,
it may be necessary to replace the high pressure filter.
To replace the filter:
n Disconnect the water broom from the spray wand.
n Place a flat head screwdriver in the slot in the water broom’s inlet
plug and turn counterclockwise. This will allow the filter to be lifted
out of the machine.
n Once the filter is removed from the inlet plug, replace it with a new
filter (not included).
n Using a flat head screwdriver, turn the filter clockwise until it can no
longer be seen over the top of the inlet plug.
