Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Greenworks 2000 PSI Turbo Nozzle. This attachment is designed to enhance the cleaning power of electric pressure washers up to 2000 PSI, making it ideal for tackling tough dirt and grime on various surfaces.
The turbo nozzle creates a powerful, oscillating stream that combines the intensity of a zero-degree nozzle with the coverage of a wider spray pattern, significantly reducing cleaning time for stubborn areas.
Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when operating pressure washing equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate eye protection, such as safety goggles, when operating the pressure washer and its attachments.
- Secure Connection: Ensure the turbo nozzle is securely connected to the pressure washer wand before starting the unit. A loose connection can cause the nozzle to become a projectile.
- High Pressure Hazard: The turbo nozzle produces a highly concentrated stream. Never direct the spray at people, pets, or electrical components.
- Surface Compatibility: Test the nozzle on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the surface being cleaned.
- Operating Pressure: This nozzle is designed for electric pressure washers up to 2000 PSI. Using it with higher pressure systems may cause damage to the nozzle or the pressure washer.
- Proposition 65 Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Setup
The Greenworks Turbo Nozzle features a 1/4-inch Quick Connect fitting for easy attachment to compatible pressure washer wands.
- Ensure Power Off: Before attaching the nozzle, ensure your pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from the power source. Release any residual pressure by squeezing the trigger.
- Prepare Wand: Pull back the collar on the quick-connect fitting at the end of your pressure washer wand.
- Insert Nozzle: Insert the metal quick-connect end of the turbo nozzle into the fitting on the wand.
- Secure Connection: Release the collar on the wand's quick-connect fitting. Push the nozzle firmly until the collar snaps forward, indicating a secure connection. Tug gently on the nozzle to confirm it is locked in place.

Operating Instructions
The turbo nozzle is designed for heavy-duty cleaning tasks. Follow these steps for optimal performance:
- Start Pressure Washer: Once the nozzle is securely attached, connect your pressure washer to a water source and power supply, then turn it on according to your pressure washer's instructions.
- Maintain Distance: Hold the wand firmly and maintain a safe distance from the surface you are cleaning. Start with the nozzle further away and gradually move closer to assess the cleaning power and prevent surface damage.
- Consistent Motion: Use a consistent, sweeping motion to clean surfaces. The rotating spray pattern of the turbo nozzle will effectively remove stubborn dirt, grime, and mildew.
- Targeted Cleaning: The turbo nozzle is particularly effective for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and asphalt. Avoid using it on delicate surfaces that may be damaged by the intense, concentrated spray.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your turbo nozzle.
- Rinse After Use: After each use, disconnect the nozzle and rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any debris or chemical residues.
- Inspect for Clogs: Periodically inspect the nozzle's orifice for any blockages. Small particles can impede the rotating mechanism.
- Internal Cleaning (Advanced): If the nozzle's internal rotating mechanism becomes sluggish or stops, it may require cleaning or lubrication. This typically involves disassembling the nozzle.
- Using a 6mm hex wrench, carefully remove the silver metal fitting at the base of the nozzle (note: it may have opposite hand threading).
- Inside, you will find a white plastic filter and gasket, and the rotating nozzle component. Use needle-nose pliers to gently pull out the filter assembly to access the rotating part.
- Clean any debris from the internal components. Applying a few drops of 30-weight motor oil or vegetable oil (if used on food-contact surfaces) to the internal mechanism can help restore smooth rotation.
- Reassemble carefully, ensuring all parts are correctly seated and the fitting is tightened securely.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a clean, dry place, protected from freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzle not rotating or spray is a single stream. | Internal mechanism clogged with debris or requires lubrication. | Disconnect the nozzle, inspect the ceramic orifice for visible blockages. If clear, follow the "Internal Cleaning (Advanced)" steps in the Maintenance section to clean and lubricate the internal rotating parts. |
| Reduced pressure from the nozzle. | Partial clog in the nozzle or insufficient water supply to the pressure washer. | Check the nozzle for clogs. Ensure the water supply hose is fully open and kink-free. Verify your pressure washer is operating correctly. |
| Nozzle leaks at connection point. | Nozzle not securely connected or O-ring is damaged. | Ensure the nozzle is fully inserted and the quick-connect collar is snapped forward. Inspect the O-ring inside the quick-connect fitting for wear or damage; replace if necessary. |
