ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is present at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and cleaning. If you need a lower pressure,
it can be accomplished by these methods.
1. Back away from the surface to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to
be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40° nozzle – this nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure
may damage pump.
TO USE SPRAY WAND
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored on the top storage panel. See chart to choose the correct nozzle for the
