Tipos de boquillas para hidrolimpiadoras

Before purchasing a new pressure washer nozzle (or set), it is essential to understand that they are only sometimes universal. Even nozzles of the same color and angle come in multiple sizes. The pressure washer has different flow and pressure specifications, which determines the selection of different nozzle sizes.

The following are the pressure washer nozzles commonly used in daily life: 0-degree nozzle, 15-degree nozzle, 25-degree nozzle, 40-degree nozzle, soap nozzle, and rotating nozzle. Pressure washer nozzles come in different colors, each signifying a different spray pattern and pressure. They often range from a narrow, high-pressure 0° (red) pattern, to a wide, low-pressure 40° (white) pattern. The black nozzle typically serves as a soap dispenser.

Pasos para cambiar la boquilla de la hidrolimpiadora

Step 1: preparations before changing the nozzle

Gather necessary tools and materials: Nozzle, wrench, rag, user manual.
Wear protective equipment: Gloves protect you from getting dirty and scratched; goggles block damage from high-pressure water or debris; clothes of a certain thickness resist splashing dirt and water pressure.

Step 2: prepare your pressure washer

Antes de empezar a cambiar la boquilla, asegúrese siempre de que la hidrolimpiadora está apagada y la fuente de agua desconectada. Esto ayuda a evitar la pulverización accidental y aumenta la seguridad. Localice el interruptor o botón de encendido de su hidrolimpiadora. Normalmente se encuentra en el panel de control o cerca del mango.

Step 3: remove the old nozzle

Localice la boquilla en el extremo de la varilla o pistola del limpiador a presión. Suele tener rosca en el extremo. Si la boquilla está bien sujeta, utilice una llave inglesa o una herramienta única para aflojarla.

Es importante tener en cuenta que algunas hidrolimpiadoras pueden tener un sistema de conexión rápida, en el que la boquilla está unida a un mecanismo de liberación rápida en lugar de roscada. En estos casos, puedes extraer fácilmente la boquilla apretando las lengüetas de liberación laterales y tirando de ella.

After safely removing the nozzle, clean the surface with a cloth to ensure the connection is clean and free of debris.

Step 4: attach the new nozzle

Once you’ve chosen the right nozzle for your task, it’s time to reattach it to the varilla de hidrolimpiadora o pistola de lavado a presión.

Siga estos pasos para volver a colocar la boquilla correctamente:

Asegúrese de que la boquilla y las roscas de la varilla de pulverización o de la pistola estén secas y libres de residuos.
Alinee las roscas de la boquilla con las líneas correspondientes de la varilla de pulverización o la pistola.
Presione la boquilla en la varilla de pulverización o en la pistola y gírela en el sentido de las agujas del reloj.
Continúe girando la boquilla en el sentido de las agujas del reloj hasta que esté bien sujeta y apretada. Tenga cuidado de no apretarla demasiado, ya que podría sufrir daños.
Gently shake the nozzle to confirm that it is properly sealed with no looseness or gaps.

Es esencial asegurarse de que la boquilla está correctamente fijada cuando se utiliza un limpiador a presión para evitar fugas o cambios en el patrón de pulverización. Compruebe siempre que la boquilla esté bien apretada antes de utilizar la máquina.

Step 5: restart the pressure washer

After you’ve successfully secured the nozzle, it’s essential to restart the machine to ensure everything works properly. Remember to always stand at a safe distance when you first test the pressure of the new nozzle.

Experiment with different spray patterns using the appropriate nozzle. Start with a wide spray pattern and progressively move to a narrower way to gauge pressure and coverage. Check for leaks around nozzle connections and verify spray pattern is consistent with nozzle type.

Preste atención a cualquier sonido o vibración inusual que pueda indicar un problema con la hidrolimpiadora. Si todo funciona correctamente, siga utilizando la hidrolimpiadora para las tareas de limpieza que desee.
