INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
NOZZLE REVIEW (CONT'D):
C. QUICK CONNECT NOZZLE: 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.; 00=0°, 15=15°,
25=25°, 40=40°, 65=detergent/low pressure. (NOTE: Not all nozzles are
incuded with the pressure washer.)

Be cautious when using this nozzle as it delivers a very

sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from concrete, masonry,
aluminum and steel, caked mud from equipment, and
cleaning lawn mower undersides.

and driveways, cleaning stable floors, washing swimming
pool bottoms, degreasing engines.
4.

over a large area and is recommended for moderate
washing. Uses: Washing aluminum siding, vehicles,
spraying sidewalks, driveways, and patios.
5.
The 65° nozzle (BLACK)
: This is a low pressure
detergent application nozzle. This broad spray pattern
