I) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (orange) is an extremely
powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-
point jet stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits
in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving
stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on
concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment.
Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including
the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of
lawn mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
II) Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning
jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping
paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains,
and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in
areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this
nozzle.
III) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding,
brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks.
When using this nozzle, test a small area rst to avoid
surface damage.
IV) Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items
such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn
equipment.
V) Use the Soap nozzle (black) for low-pressure detergent
application to clean equipment, remove mildew and
oxidation stains from houses, clean bricks or degrease
grimy surfaces.
NOTE: When using detergent, make sure to install the
correct Soap nozzle (black). All of the other colored
nozzles will not work for detergent application.
