High Pressure Washer
How to Use the Adjustable
Nozzle and Adjust Pressure
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern
and apply detergent or any other cleaning chemicals.
DANGER! Never adjust spray pattern
when spraying. Never put hands in front
of nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the spray to be either high pressure or low
pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is con-
centrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan
pattern.
Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust
the spray to low pressure mode (Figure 11). Slide
the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.
Located on the side of the pump is a pressure con-
trol knob. You can increase and decrease the
pressure of the spray by turning the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively (Figure 12).
Point the nozzle toward the ground and press the
trigger to test the pattern.
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning sur-
face.
If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning
surface.
Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
