Nozzles from other sources may not fit thecoupler and become a hazard.Color ofNozzle:SprayAngle Used For:Red 0 Highest ImpactYellow 15 ToughStains/StrippingGreen 25 GeneralWhite 40 Light CleaningBlack Low-pressure 65 ChemicalsYellow 15 SteamNote: Use only the black low-pressure nozzle forspraying chemicals, which provides the proper mixingratio.Figure 10Turn pressure washer off and depressurize line beforeconnecting a new nozzle. Engage safety latch on spraygun. Connect appropriate nozzle according to “QuickConnect Procedure.”Step 2. Pre-Spraying ProcedureSafety RulesPrevent slips/loss of balance. High-pressure spraycould cause you to lose balance from kickback forces,and wet surfaces can be slippery. Keep good footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Do not stand on unstable support when spraying. Use extreme caution when spraying from a ladderor scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored fromsway or tip-over. Use extreme caution to avoidfalling as spray gun kick can propel you off theladder or scaffolding. Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces.Ensure there is adequate drainage to preventpooling of water.Keep spray away from electrical wiring. Spraycontact with electrical wiring will likely result in severeelectrical shock or electrocution.Keep spray away from people. Never direct dischargestream at or near any person. Do not allow any part ofthe body to come in contact with the fluid stream.Prevent surface damage & flying debris. Surfacesbeing sprayed must be strong enough to withstand high-pressure spray, or damage may result. In addition, high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects, surfacechips, and debris, resulting in hazardous flying objectsthat can cause personal injury or property damage. Donot spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile,unsecured objects, such as: Stucco or laminar flagstone Some painted surfaces Windows or glass doors (because they maybreak) Light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes Unsecured, lightweight objectsPrepare to wash small parts in a basket so the pressuredoes not push them away. Clamp down larger,lightweight parts.CollarCouplerWater outlet ornozzle-typeconnectionCorrectInsertionNot FullyInsertedCollar Seated Collar NOT SeatedNozzleTrigger
