If your pressure washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle
(Model 01805 (2500 PSI)), adjust the spray pattern and spray
pressure as follows:
1. Slide nozzle forward to obtain low pressure mode
(Figure 18). Slide nozzle backward to achieve high
pressure.
2. Point nozzle towards firm surface and press trigger to
test spray pattern (Figure 19).
3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from narrow
pattern to fan pattern (Figure 20).
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.

4. Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar.
Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.
5. For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface. DO NOT get

container.
