NOzzLE FOR ThE JOB
See Figure 21.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray
pattern. The nozzle patterns are: 25° (for general purpose
or large surfaces), 15° (for tough jobs), 0° (for spot cleaning
or hard-to-reach areas), and the Soap Blaster
long and short range detergent application).
WARNING:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock out on
the trigger handle and NEVER point the wand at your
face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains
small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force.
Failure to heed this may cause personal injury.
Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is easy.

To connect a nozzle to the trigger handle:
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks
in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once the
cleaning job is complete:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Point nozzle in a safe direction and pull trigger to
release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the
nozzle holder for storage.
