INSTALLATION & PREPARATION
The first two digits indicate the spray fan degree: 00=0°, 15=15°, 25=25°,
40=40°, 65=65°.
1. The 0° nozzle (RED):
This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated stream of water.
Be cautious when using the straight narrow stream. It is not recommended
for use on painted or wood surfaces or items attached with adhesive
backing. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains
from concrete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud from equipment,
and cleaning lawn mower undersides.
2. The 15° nozzle (YELLOW):
This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should be directed at a 45° angle to
the surface and used like a scraper to remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses:
Surface preparation (removing mildew stains and paint chips).
3. The 40° nozzle (WHITE):
This is a wash nozzle. This wide spray pattern disperses the water pressure
over a large area and is recommended for moderate washing. Uses: Washing
aluminum siding, cleaning windows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks,
driveways, and patios.
4. The 25° nozzle (GREEN):
This is a flushing nozzle. This pattern is best suited for flushing dirt, mud,
and grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from walks, curbs and driveways,
cleaning stable floors, washing swimming pool bottoms, degreasing engines.
5. The 65° nozzle: (included in dual lance.)
This is a detergent nozzle. The broad spray pattern distributes solution
over vast areas. Uses: Detergent application, misting or rinsing.
NOZZLE CONNECTION:
1. Ensure the trigger gun is locked in the OFF position.
2. Quick-connect nozzles can be connected or disconnected from the dual
lance assembly by retracting the locking ring on the quick-connect fitting.
When connecting the desired nozzle, push the locking ring over the quick
connect nozzle to secure connection.
WATER SUPPLY:
PRESSURIZED SUPPLY:
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose measuring
at least ¾" ID and no longer than 50 feet.
2. Ensure the water strainer is clean and free of obstructions. Check float
tank for any foreign objects or debris. If water flow becomes restricted to
the pump, cavitation can occur which will cause premature failure of the
pump packings.
3. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the float tank inlet and connect
the other end to the pressurized water supply.
NOTE: If there is a high mineral content in your water, it is recommended
that a water softener be used to prevent the possibility of excessive
scale buildup inside the heat exchanger coil.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be between a minimum of 40 PSI and a maximum
of 65 PSI.
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more per minute than
the outgoing GPM stated on the machine nameplate. (You can check
the GPM of your source by timing the filling of a 5 gallon container.)
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 125°F. Excessive pump
damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this level.
