4. Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on. Purge air from the system by squeezing the spray gun trigger until a steady stream of water emerges.
4.1 Nozzle Selection
The pressure washer comes with 4 quick-connect nozzles (0°, 15°, 25°, 40°) and a soap nozzle. Each nozzle is color-coded for easy identification:
- Red (0°): For intense spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas. Use with caution.
- Yellow (15°): For aggressive cleaning of small areas, such as removing stubborn stains.
- Green (25°): For general cleaning of most surfaces, like patios, driveways, and vehicles.
- White (40°): For gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, such as windows or painted surfaces.
- Black (Soap): For applying detergent.
To change nozzles, pull back the collar on the spray gun and insert the desired nozzle. Release the collar to lock it in place.

Fill the detergent bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach the soap nozzle to the spray gun. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when the soap nozzle is in use.
4.3 Cleaning Techniques
- Always start with the lowest pressure setting (widest spray angle) and gradually increase if needed.
- Keep the spray gun moving to avoid damaging surfaces.
- Maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned.
