5. Operating Instructions

The rotating brush is designed for delicate cleaning tasks. Its ergonomic shape allows access to difficult areas.

• Suitable Surfaces: Ideal for painted surfaces, glass, plastic, motorcycles, cars, caravans, boats, and garden furniture.
• Operation:
  1. Turn on your pressure washer and ensure water is flowing.
  2. Direct the brush towards the surface to be cleaned. The water pressure will cause the brush head to rotate, providing a gentle scrubbing action.
  3. Move the brush steadily across the surface, allowing the rotating bristles to lift dirt and grime.
  4. For stubborn dirt, you may need to apply a suitable cleaning solution beforehand or make multiple passes.
• Efficiency: Using the rotating brush can improve washing efficiency compared to using the pressure washer lance alone, especially on surfaces requiring a gentle scrub.
