NOZZLE REVIEW
Various nozzles may be quick-connected into the end of the dual lance to
change the spray pattern. The detergent nozzle has been pre-installed at
the factory. When using quick-connects (Q.C.), be certain the connection
is securely locked as shown at right. If not, the high pressure water may
shoot the nozzle from the lance, causing severe injury or serious dam-
age. To determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the
nozzle. The first two digits indicate the spray fan degree: 00=0°, 15=15°,
25=25°, 40=40°, 65=65°.
1. The 0° nozzle (RED): This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very con-
centrated stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight narrow
stream. It is not recommended for use on painted or wood surfaces,
or items attached with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing weeds
from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, alumi-
num and steel, caked mud from equipment, and cleaning lawn mower
undersides.
2. The 15° nozzle (YELLOW): This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should
be directed at a 45° angle to the surface and used like a scraper to
remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing
mildew stains and paint chips).

PREPARATION
QUICK-CONNECT NOZZLES:
Various nozzles may be quick connected into the end of the adjustable pressure
dual lance to change the spray pattern or use the detergent feature. When
using Quick- connects (Q.C.), be certain the connection is securely locked.
(See illustration #11). If not, the high pressure water may shoot the nozzle
from the lance, causing severe injury or serious damage. To determine
spray fan, (see illustration #12) refer to the actual number stamped on the
nozzle. The rst two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e., 00=0°,
15=15°, 25=25°, 40=40°.
1. The 0° nozzle (RED): This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated
stream of water. Be cautious when using the straight narrow stream. It is
not recommended for use on painted or wood surfaces or items attached
with adhesive backings. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks,
stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud
from equipment, and cleaning lawn mower undersides.
2. The 15° nozzle (YELLOW): This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should
be directed at a 45° angle to the surface and used like a scraper to
remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing
mildew stains and paint chips).
3. The 25° nozzle (GREEN):
a. This is a ushing nozzle. This pattern is best suited for ushing
dirt, mud, and grime. Uses: Wet sweeping leaves from walk,
curbs and driveways, cleaning stable oors, washing swimmin
pool bottoms, degreasing engines.
b. On units with steam option, this nozzle is used for 250°F Wet
Steam operation. This nozzle is sized for operation with the
unloader and steam valve (where applicable) to provide high
pressure wet steam. Replacement of this nozzle with an improp-
erly sized nozzle may cause operational problems with the
machine.
4. The 40° nozzle (WHITE): This is a wash nozzle. This wide spray pattern
disperses the water pressure over a large area and is recommended
for moderate washing. Uses: Washing down aluminum siding, cleaning
windows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks, driveways, and
patios.
