How to Use Spray Tips

The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to
switch between five different quick connect spray tips. Spray
tips can be changed while pressure washer is running once
spray gun trigger lock is engaged. The spray tips vary the

Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
