- Cleaning Technique: Hold the nozzle at an appropriate distance from the surface to be cleaned. Start with a wider spray pattern (higher degree nozzle) and move closer or switch to a narrower pattern (lower degree nozzle) as needed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your YAMATIC Pressure Washer Gun and Hose Kit:
- After Each Use: Disconnect the hose from the pressure washer and the gun. Drain all water from the hose and gun to prevent freezing in cold weather and to avoid mineral buildup.
- Inspect Connections: Regularly check all fittings, O-rings, and quick connectors for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately to prevent leaks and maintain optimal performance.
- Clean Nozzles: If a nozzle becomes clogged, use a small wire or nozzle cleaning tool to clear any debris. Rinse thoroughly.
- Storage: Store the hose and gun in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the hose neatly to prevent kinks and damage.
