3.5 SPRAY TIPS AND NOZZLE
3.5.1 NOZZLE TYPE
SPRAY TIP APPLICATION
25
O
Green - Narrow fan tip (25° )
• The green pressure washer tip
provides high versatility with its
25 degree angle tip. Referred to
as the washing tip because it
provides adequate pressure to re-
move dirt from surfaces, but is
designed to not damage many
surfaces. This pressure washer
tip is designed for “sweeping” fo-
liage or debris given its wide an-
gle. This tip is versatile due to its
wide area of cleaning and strong
pressure application.
Turbo nozzle tip
• The nozzle rotates in a zero-
to-15-degree spray pattern in a
circular motion to break down
tough dirt and grime. The spray
pattern can cover area of 4 to
8 inches wide, depending on a
distance between the tip and the
surface being cleaned.
3.5.2 INSTALL THE SPRAY TIP
1. Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar on the
spray wand.
2. Insert the spray tip onto the spray wand.
3. Release the quick-connect collar to attach the
spray tip.
Note: Pull on spray tip to ensure it is properly
installed and does not pull out.
4 OPERATION
WARNING
Make sure that all the connections are tight and have
no leakage before operation.
4.1 PREPARE A DRIP LOOP
Recommend the use of a drip loop as below so the
water can not run along the power cord even possibly
reach the electrical outlet and plug.
WARNING
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result
in serious personal injury.
