5. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 23):

i) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) 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.
