nozzle reView:
Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the wand to change the
spray pattern or use the optional detergent feature. When using Quick Connects
(Q.C.), be certain the connection is securely locked. (See Figure "Connection of
Q.C. Nozzles" right.) 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.; 00=0°, 15=15°, 25=25°, 40=40°.
