Various nozzles may be quick connected into the end of the lance to change
the spray pattern or use the detergent feature. When using Quick- connects
(Q.C.), be certain the connection is securely locked. If not, the high pressure
water may shoot the nozzle from the lance, causing severe injury or serious
damage. To determine spray fan, refer to the actual number stamped on the
nozzle. The first two digits indicate the spray fan in degrees, i.e., 00=0°,
15=15°, 25=25°, 40=40°.
