Nozzle Selection Information

Nozzle Selection Guide

The 0-Degree Nozzle This is a blasting nozzle. It delivers a very concentrated stream of water. Care should be used to avoid gouging wood or damaging fr agile surfaces. Uses: Removing weeds from sidewalk cracks, stubborn stains from concrete, masonry, aluminum and steel, caked mud from equipment and cleaning lawn mower undersides.

The 15-Degree Nozzle This is a chiseling nozzle. The spray should be directed at a 45-degree angle to the surface and used like a scraper to remove paint, grease and dirt. Uses: Surface preparation (removing peeling paint and mildew stains(, cleaning gutters and downspouts.

The 25-Degree Nozzle This is a flushing nozzle. With a narrower spray pattern than the 40-degree nozzle and with more concentrated spray pressure, this nozzle is best suited for flushing dirt, mud and grime. Uses: Wet-sweeping leaves from walks, curbs, and driveways, cleaning stable floors, washing swimming pool bottoms and blasting barbecue grills.

The 40-Degree Nozzle This is a wash nozzle. Its wide spray pattern disperses the water pressure over a large area and is recommended for rinsing and moderate washing. Uses: Washing down aluminum siding, cleaning windows, washing vehicles, spraying sidewalks, driveways and patios.

The Soap Injector Nozzle This is the low pressure soaping nozzle. When used with the Suttner Soap Injector, this nozzle will allow a soft spray soaking of the surface with a liquid soap or detergent. Uses: Equipment cleaning, removing mildew and oxidations stains from houses, cleaning effervescent brick and degreasing.

The Turbo Nozzle Turbo nozzles spray water out a zero degree orifice. The spray exits the nozzle at an angle while rotating. The rotation allows the spray to simulate a fan pattern; therefore, it allows the operator to cover a larger area. With the increased tearing action of the rotating spray, the turbo nozzle handles caked on mud, peeling paint, concrete cleaning and other applications where a flat fan nozzle would not cut it.

Spray Gun Safety and Operating Instructions

Suttner spray guns are designed for controlling the high pressure spray of a pressure washer. It can be used with clear water or water mixed with commercially available detergents.

Warnings:
High pressure spray. Never direct spray toward any part of your body or any other person.
Always engage the safety lock-off after use to prevent unintended operation.
Never block or wire the trigger lever in the open position. Obstructing the trigger lever will cause improper operation. Discontinue use if gun valve does not close immediately upon trigger release.
Never exceed the pressure and flow ratings of the gun.
Ensure all pressure is released from the system before attempting to repair.

Cautions:
Wear protective gloves and clothing when working with chemicals.
Wear protective gloves and clothing when working with media temperatures over 140 F.
Do not allow gun to freeze. Always store and transport gun in temperatures above 32 F.\
Inspect and maintain spray gun. Ensure safe operation by inspecting gun for leaks or damage before every use.

Operation:
After the gun has been properly installed on a pressure washer:
1) To spray, grasp the gun handle firmly, unlock the safety lever, direct the output in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger lever.
2) To stop spray, simply release the trigger lever while continuing to hold firmly onto the gun handle.
3) When taking a break or upon completing the job, lock the safety lever to prevent accidental operation.
