Assembly

Connect the lance sections together. Feed the hose attached to the brush mount thorugh all the sections. Use the cam-locks to fix them in place (Fig. 1).
Insert the end of the hose into the valve and fix it in place using the U-pin (Fig. 2).
Open the cam-lock and slide the brush mount forwards (Fig. 3).
Screw the brush onto the brush mount so that it is facing down, in line with the quick-connect collar (Fig. 4).
Turn the lock nut clockwise until tight against the base of the brush (Fig. 5).
Adjust the distance between the brush and the quick-connect collar before closing the cam-lock (Fig. 3).
Attach the shoulder strap to the sky lance and secure in place using the thumb screw (Fig. 6).
Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar until it clicks into place (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Nozzles are not included with this tool. Visit snowjoe.com for pressure washer quick-connect nozzles.
Connect the high-pressure hose from your pressure washer to the water inlet on the bottom of the sky lance (Fig. 8). Alternatively, use the quick-connect to M22 high-pressure hose adapter for use with a quick-connect high-pressure hose (Fig. 9).

Operation

Use the cam-locks to adjust the sky lance to your desired length.
NOTE: Never extend the lance sections beyond the lines marked in red.
