the nozzle, match to one size under the flow and
pressure output of the pump.
The nozzle is usually connected to the wand with a
quick coupler. Be sure the collar on the quick coupler
snaps into the locked position, or the nozzle could be
lost when the trigger on the spray gun is squeezed.
Never connect the spray nozzle directly to the trigger
gun without a wand or injury could result. Never place
hands or fingers over the nozzle tip.
The nozzles generally come in four different spray
angles: 0°, 15°, 25°, and 40°. The different spray
angles of a given size of nozzle do not change the
output pressure of the machine, just the impact force
and surface coverage of the water spray.
The optional 0° nozzle sprays a straight stream which
impacts the surface very hard but does not cover a very
wide area. Use the 0° red nozzle with care because it
can damage the surface you are spraying with its high
impact and long reaching spray.
The 15° yellow nozzle sprays out a flat stream at a 15°
pattern. It gives you less impact power than the above,
but covers a wider area with one pass of the spray
wand. As you back away, the spraying nozzle from the
surface, the spray impact will decrease.
The 25° green nozzle is wider than the 15° and is most
commonly referred to as the “steam nozzle”. The steam
nozzles are sized to spray less water than the other
high-pressure nozzles, so the water is discharged at a
higher temperature. (Up to 250°F.)
The 40° nozzle spreads the water stream over a wide
area to give you less impact for delicate surfaces.
Never connect the spray nozzle directly to the
trigger gun without a wand or injury could result.
Never place hands or fingers over the nozzle tip.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
HEATING COIL PROTECTION:
Protect your heating coil by removing debris or minerals
from inlet water by adding a filter or anti-scale cartridge.
The universal bracket and filter housing kit (p/n AF001)
attaches to most 1” to 1½ “ tubing to fit most pressure
washer frames, then choose the filter insert that will
most benefit you.
▪ A 10-micron filter cartridge removes debris, ideal
when using sandy, non-potable, or well water (p/n
VFH11)
▪ The anti-scale cartridge removes minerals to prevent
scale buildup (p/n VFD50)
WET SANDBLASTER: The wet
sandblaster is a system that introduces
sand (or other media such as baking
soda) into the water stream for abrasive
blasting. It is especially effective for
graffiti or paint removal. Performance
of the unit is directly related to the output of your high-
pressure washer. The sand is mixed with the water at
the sand head in a tungsten carbide nozzle.
A vacuum is created in the sand nozzle, which draws a
sand and air mixture up the sand hose. If the sand
becomes wet or the sand nozzle becomes plugged, the
vacuum will be lost and the sand will quit flowing. The
sand probe can be poked directly into a bag or bucket
of sand to draw it up the sand hose. Do not cover the
air intake port on the top of the sand probe or the sand
flow will be disrupted. Uncoil the sand hose completely
before use to improve the sand flow and replace the
sand hose when it becomes worn. The carbide sand-
mixing nozzle can be unscrewed and replaced when
worn.
Use bagged silica sand for best results through the
sandblaster. Use 16 to 20 grit (course) sand for rust or
concrete. Use 30 grit (fine) for fine metal surfaces or
wood. Do not use wet sand or mix different grits of
sand. A sand hopper is available for convenient sand
storage. An air valve is available for adjusting feed rate
on the hopper and should be fully open when using fine
media such as baking soda. Always use safety
goggles and protective clothing when operating the
wet sand-blaster.
TURBO NOZZLE: (please note temperature
limits) The turbo nozzle multiplies the power of
your machine by rotating the spray jet and
making the water impact a surface harder to give
better cleaning results.
“Turbo Laser” type nozzles cannot be used with water
over 190° or the life of the turbo nozzle will be greatly
decreased and the warranty voided. The “Rotomax”
type nozzle can be used up to 170°. Turn off burner or
reduce temperature setting before using. Simply
remove regular spray nozzle, replace with the turbo
nozzle and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun. Do
not point the turbo nozzle upward when starting.
EXTENSION HOSES: connecting additional hose
lengths by means of twist couplers can extend the
length of your high-pressure discharge hose. Hose
extensions generally come in 50’ and 100’ lengths.
Specify maximum pressure and temperature of your
machine when ordering.
Low-pressure inlet garden hoses are available in 50’
and 100’ lengths. Premium quality, 200psi rated hoses
are recommended. WARNING! If your unit is
equipped with 250°F steam option, only use
minimum 250°F rated high-pressure hose.
