4.1 Starting the Unit

4.2 Using Different Nozzles and Accessories
- Rotary Nozzle: This nozzle provides a powerful, rotating jet for removing particularly stubborn dirt and grime. It is ideal for hard surfaces like concrete and stone.
- Adjustable Nozzle: This nozzle allows you to vary the intensity of the water jet from a concentrated stream to a wide fan spray, suitable for different cleaning tasks and delicate surfaces.
- Foam Cleaning Kit: Attach the foam kit to the gun. Fill its 0.4-liter tank with appropriate detergent. This kit is used to apply a layer of foam for pre-soaking or deep cleaning.
- Fixed Brush: Use the fixed brush for effective scrubbing on surfaces that require mechanical action in addition to water pressure.
- Patio Cleaner Deluxe: This accessory is designed for efficient cleaning of large horizontal surfaces such as patios, terraces, and verandas.
