Important Safety Notice

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating pressure washing equipment. Although a 40-degree nozzle produces a wider spray pattern than concentrated nozzles, high-pressure water can still cause injury or damage if used improperly. Avoid directing the spray at people, animals, electrical equipment, or delicate surfaces.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Inspect the nozzle regularly for wear or orifice enlargement.
• Flush clean water through the nozzle after each use.
• Remove debris or mineral buildup as necessary.
• Replace the nozzle if spray pattern quality declines.
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use.
• Check threads periodically for wear or damage to ensure a secure connection.
