EXTENSION CORDS
• When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use
an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, possibly resulting in overheating, loss
of power, and/or damage to circuit breaker. Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s
Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on
the cord’s jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and
cut or worn insulation. It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to
prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make a knot, then connect the plug
end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also
be used to tie two extension cords together.

SPRAY TIP APPLICATION
25O
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 remove dirt from surfaces, but is designed to
not damage many surfaces. This pressure washer tip is designed for
“sweeping” foliage or debris given its wide angle. This tip is versatile
due to its wide area of cleaning and strong pressure application.
40O
White - Wide fan tip (40° )
■The white 40 degree tip, referred to as the “fan” tip creates the
widest area of cleaning with relatively low pressure. This pressure
washer tip is best used for light or delicate cleaning applications. It
is recommended for light cleaning on wood decks and other soft or
delicate surfaces.
SOAP
Black - Soap spray tip
■The black soap spray tip, is used for soap application. Soap is applied
under low pressure high volume for optimum performance. Soap cannot
be applied under high pressure with this machine.
TURBO
Turbo Nozzle Tip
■This nozzle rotates in a zero to 15 degree circular motion spray pattern
to break down tough dirt and grime. The spray pattern can cover area of
4 to 8 inches wide, depending on the distance between the tip and the
surface being cleaned.
