6. Operating Instructions

Learn how to effectively use your pressure washer for various cleaning tasks.

1. Starting the Unit: Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position. The Total Stop System (TSS) will engage, meaning the pump will only run when the trigger is pressed.
2. Selecting Nozzles: The SPX2700-MAX comes with three Quick-Connect nozzles and a Turbo nozzle, each designed for specific tasks:
   • 0° Nozzle (Red): For pinpoint cleaning and tough stains. Use with extreme caution.
   • 15° Nozzle (Yellow): For intense cleaning of hard surfaces.
   • 40° Nozzle (White/Grey): For gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces.
   • Turbo Nozzle (Black): Provides a rotating jet for maximum cleaning power on stubborn grime.
