5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Activating Water Flow
To activate the water flow, simply squeeze the trigger handle. The water flow will stop when the trigger is released.
5.2 Adjusting Spray Pattern
The Truper PR-202 features an adjustable nozzle head. Rotate the nozzle head (the brass-colored front part) clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the spray pattern from a fine mist to a powerful jet stream. Experiment with different rotations to find the desired spray for your task.

For continuous water flow without holding the trigger, engage the lock-on clip. Squeeze the trigger fully, then push the small metal clip located near the trigger forward to lock it in place. To disengage, simply squeeze the trigger again.
6. Maintenance
- After each use, turn off the water supply and release any remaining pressure by squeezing the trigger.
- Store the nozzle in a dry, protected area to prevent freezing and prolong its lifespan.
- Periodically check the hose connection for wear and tear on the washer. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Clean the nozzle head if debris or mineral buildup affects the spray pattern.
