3. Setup Instructions
Before connecting the water gun, ensure your pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, during setup and operation.
- Inspect Components: Unpack all components and inspect them for any signs of damage. Do not use if any part is damaged.
- Connect the High-Pressure Hose: Connect your pressure washer's high-pressure hose to the inlet of the BEAR FORCE spray gun. This connection typically uses a quick-connect fitting. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent leaks.
- Attach a Lance: Select either the variable jet lance or the rotary turbo lance based on your cleaning needs. Insert the chosen lance into the front nozzle connection point of the spray gun. Push firmly and twist until it clicks into place.

4. Operating Instructions
Once the water gun is properly connected to your pressure washer, you can begin operation. Always ensure a stable footing and maintain control of the gun during use due to the high pressure involved.
4.1. General Operation
- Water Supply: Ensure your pressure washer is connected to a sufficient water supply.
- Power On: Turn on your pressure washer according to its manufacturer's instructions.
- Engage Trigger: Aim the nozzle away from people, animals, and delicate objects. Squeeze the trigger on the water gun to begin the high-pressure spray.
- Safety Lock: The gun features a safety lock (often a small lever or button near the trigger, as shown in Figure 3.2) to prevent accidental activation. Engage this lock when not actively spraying.
4.2. Using the Variable Jet Lance
The variable jet lance allows you to adjust the spray pattern from a concentrated 0-degree pencil jet to a wide 60-degree fan spray. This versatility is ideal for various cleaning tasks, from stubborn dirt removal to gentle rinsing.
- Adjustment: To adjust the spray pattern, simply rotate the nozzle head of the variable jet lance. Turn it clockwise for a narrower, more powerful stream and counter-clockwise for a wider, less intense fan spray.
- Application: Use a narrow jet for tough stains on durable surfaces like concrete. Use a wider fan spray for general cleaning, rinsing, or on more delicate surfaces.
4.3. Using the Rotary Turbo Lance
The rotary turbo lance provides a powerful, oscillating jet that is highly effective for removing heavily ingrained dirt and grime. It creates a 25-degree rotational spray pattern, combining the impact of a solid stream with the coverage of a fan spray.
- Operation: The turbo lance operates at a fixed, rotating pattern. No adjustment is needed.
- Application: Ideal for cleaning large, heavily soiled areas such as driveways, patios, and brickwork. Not recommended for delicate surfaces due to its high impact.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your BEAR FORCE High-Pressure Water Gun.
- After Each Use: Disconnect the water gun from the pressure washer and flush it with clean water to remove any detergent residue or debris.
- Clean Nozzles: Periodically check the nozzles for blockages. Use a small wire or the included nozzle cleaning tool (if applicable) to clear any obstructions.
- Check Connections: Inspect all connections and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace worn O-rings to prevent leaks.
- Storage: Store the water gun and lances in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
