ASSEMBLY
To protect the coupler and lance during shipping
these parts are shipped strapped to the extension
pole.
All Giraffe wands require some final assembly.
To complete the assembly, simply attach
the M22 fitting as illustrated.
The extension wand is now ready for use.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read, understand, and follow ALL safety guidelines and operation instructions prior to use.
To use your Giraffe extension wand:
Connect the outlet of your pressure washer to the inlet port of the trigger gun of the Giraffe
extension wand using appropriate quick couplers or fittings rated to handle high pressure.
Do NOT bypass, disable, or remove the trigger gun.
DO NOT use pliers, pipe wrenches, etc. to tighten as it will cause the collet to seize to the
threaded plastic housing. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY!
The Giraffe extension wand may be used fully retracted or fully extended or any point in between.
Caution must be used when the wand is extended as the reaction force of the nozzle spraying will
cause the wand to flex. Make absolutely certain that there are no power lines or sources of
electrical power within 10 feet of the lance at any time.
Contact with power transmission lines can cause fatal electrocution!
Caution: Do not extend or retract your Giraffe extension wand while spraying or while under
pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve any pressure before making adjustments to the
extension wand or changing nozzles.
To extend the wand:
Loosen the brown lock rings and pull the wand out to the desired length. Re-tighten the lock rings
to hold the wand at the desired length.
To retract the wand:
Loosen the brown lock rings and slide the extension segment into the wand until the desired
length is reached and re-tighten the lock rings to hold the extension segments in place.
