Operating Instructions
Starting the Unit

Using the Nozzles
The AJP-1420A comes with two types of nozzles for versatile cleaning:
Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle provides a powerful, rotating jet that is ideal for removing stubborn dirt, grime, and moss from hard surfaces such as concrete, paving, and brick walls. It significantly increases cleaning efficiency for heavily soiled areas.
Variable Nozzle
The variable nozzle allows you to adjust the spray pattern from a concentrated pencil jet to a wide fan spray. This versatility makes it suitable for a range of tasks, from precise cleaning of small areas to gentle washing of delicate surfaces like vehicles or windows. The pressure can also be adjusted by changing the spray angle.
Cleaning Techniques
- Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damage.
- Maintain an appropriate distance from the surface being cleaned to prevent damage.
- For best results, clean from top to bottom, allowing gravity to assist in rinsing away dirt.
