How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle
You should now know how to START and STOP your
pressure washer.The information in this section will tell
you how to adjust the spray pattern and to apply detergent
or other cleaning chemicals.
1. Slide nozzle forward when you wish to adjust spray to
low pressure mode (Figure 9). Slide nozzle backward
to achieve high pressure.
• NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.
• NEVER put hands in front of nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
CAUTION
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• Squeeze trigger on spray gun to relieve trapped pressure,
every time you stop engine. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun retains high pressure when pressure
washer is shut down, which can cause injury.
WARNING
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt
and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• If engine starts and fails to continue to run or if increased
resistance is felt during starting pull attempts, squeeze trigger
on spray gun.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will
pull hand and arm toward engine faster than
you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
WARNING
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• The pressure washer must be at least 5 feet from structures
having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.
• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of pressure
washer for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be
maintained in effective working order.
Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
