4.3.1 NOZZLE TYPE

SPRAY TIP

|

APPLICATION

---|---
| Green – Narrow fan tip (25° )
•  The green pressure washer tip pro- vides high versatility with its 25 de- gree 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.
| 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.
| Black – Soap spray tip
•  The black soap spray tip, is used for soap application. Soap is applied un- der low-pressure high volume for optimum performance. Soap cannot be applied under high pressure with this machine.
| Turbo nozzle tip
•  The nozzle rotates in a zero to 15 de- gree spray pattern in a circular motion to break down tough dirt and grime. The spray pattern can cover an area of 4 to 8 inches wide, depending on the distance between the tip and the surface being cleaned.

4.3.2 INSTALL THE SPRAY TIP

1. Pull back the quick-connect collar (29) on the spray wand (5).
2. Insert the spray tip (28) onto the spray wand (5).
3. Release the quick-connect collar (29) to attach the spray tip (28).
4. Pull-on spray tip (28) to ensure it is properly installed and does not pull out.
